The Great AI-Powered Mutiny

Asked Copilot to create a simple flexbox layout and it decided to spawn the Inception of div containers. That conditional at the top should've been v-if="canCreateNightmare" . Nothing says "I'm helping" like turning a 3-line layout into the HTML equivalent of a Russian nesting doll. And the best part? All that code just to add the same gap-4 everywhere. Efficiency at its finest!

The existential dread noose is tightening around everyone's neck! Developers think they're special snowflakes trembling about AI taking their precious coding jobs, while completely forgetting that translators, designers, and support staff have been dangling from the gallows of automation for months already. It's like watching someone panic about a tsunami while standing next to people who are already neck-deep in water. The irony is that devs are literally building the very AI tools that will eventually replace them. Talk about sawing off the branch you're sitting on!

The evolution of software engineering in its natural habitat! First, we have the innocent "Software Engineer" - just a regular Pooh bear doing honest work. Then there's the slightly pretentious "Sr Software Engineer" - same bear, just wearing a tux and acting fancy because they learned what a design pattern is. But the final form? The "pRoMpt eNgiNeEr" with that cursed ransom-note typography - it's just a deranged panda typing "make me a website that looks like Amazon but better" into ChatGPT and calling it coding. The tech industry's equivalent of ordering a pizza and claiming you made dinner.

That face when the junior dev confidently explains an AI-generated pull request that's 90% hallucinated features and 10% actual code. The smug little smile says it all: "I totally understand what's happening here" while internally panicking about what await Promise.resolve(undefined).then(() => Math.random() > 0.5 ? 'success' : throw new Error('oops')) is supposed to accomplish. The code review is scheduled for 3pm and Stack Overflow is already open in 17 tabs.

Oh, the classic "elephant in the room" problem has evolved into the "elephant in the AI" problem! ChatGPT was asked to create an image with "absolutely no elephants" yet there's a massive pachyderm chilling in the corner like it's paying rent. This is the digital equivalent of a unit test that passes despite the glaring bug. The AI confidently declares "Here's the image of an empty room with absolutely no elephants in it" while the evidence trunk-slaps you in the face. It's like when your code compiles without errors but still manages to crash spectacularly in production.
