The Heresy Of Manual Coding

The tech world's most awkward corporate romance is playing out right before our eyes. Microsoft dumps billions into OpenAI, then OpenAI tries to replace their board, then Microsoft swoops in to "save" them... and now they're stuck in this uncomfortable forced partnership where neither can really leave. It's like watching your parents try to stay together "for the kids" (the kids being ChatGPT and Copilot). The uncomfortable couch scene perfectly captures that "we're financially entangled but trust issues are through the roof" vibe.

When Jensen Huang trades his iconic leather jacket for a suit, you know GPU prices are about to make your wallet cry harder than a junior dev facing legacy code without documentation. The man's fashion choices are literally a NASDAQ indicator at this point. Leather jacket Jensen: "We're innovating!" Suit Jensen: "We're strategically adjusting our value proposition upward by 300%."

Look at this peak coding efficiency! Why bother with basic arithmetic when you can just outsource addition to ChatGPT? Sure, a simple a + b would work, but where's the fun in that? This is what happens when you've got a $20/month ChatGPT subscription and absolutely need to justify it by using it for literally everything—including adding 5 and 3. The irony of burning through tokens and API calls to calculate what a 5-year-old could do on their fingers is just *chef's kiss*. Next up: using DALL-E to generate images of numbers because Math.random() is too mainstream.

OMG, venture capitalists are LITERALLY WORSHIPPING autocomplete now! 😱 Silicon Valley VCs seeing predictive text and immediately falling to their knees like they've witnessed the second coming. "Look! It finished my sentence! TAKE MY MILLIONS!" Meanwhile, actual engineers are in the corner having existential crises watching investors throw cash at glorified pattern recognition. The bar for "revolutionary technology" has fallen so low you could trip over it while scrolling through TikTok. And yet here we are, watching the money people treat basic AI features like they've discovered fire. PEAK COMEDY.

The perfect excuse has finally arrived in the AI era. Just tell your manager "my code's generating" while Claude or GPT does the heavy lifting, and suddenly you're not scrolling Reddit—you're "waiting for computational processes to complete." Works every time. The best part? When the code finally arrives, you can just claim you wrote it and collect those sweet, sweet productivity points. Modern problems require modern solutions.

The duality of AI assistance in a nutshell! ChatGPT gleefully cranks out code like it's handing out candy, but then turns into your disappointed parent when reviewing that same code. "Wait, you actually used what I suggested? Where are the comments? The error handling? The tests?" Nothing quite like getting judged by the same entity that confidently wrote that spaghetti mess in the first place. It's the digital equivalent of "do as I say, not as I do."
