The Infinite Else If Rabbit Hole

From moon landings to being trapped in Vim—what a downgrade! The 1960s programmer stands tall with actual documentation and the audacity to claim they'll conquer space, while 2025's version is just a doge meme begging for help to escape an editor that's been around since 1991. Modern devs have ChatGPT, StackOverflow, and Spotify, yet still can't figure out how to type ":q!" without a Reddit thread. Progress? I think not. The only thing we're flying to these days is the coffee machine between debugging sessions.

Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob keeping track of exactly how long we've gone without some AI-generated hallucination, bizarre prompt injection, or GitHub Copilot suggesting a security vulnerability as a "best practice." The counter remains stubbornly at zero, much like those workplace "days without an accident" signs that never make it past single digits. Just another Tuesday in the brave new world where we've all become unwitting QA testers for neural networks with confidence issues.

Oh. My. God. The AUDACITY of developers asking AI to rename variables while their poor CPUs are SCREAMING in agony! 💀 The left button shows the sacred manual labor of renaming variables ourselves like our ancestors intended. The right button? Asking CoPilot to do it while your computer's processing power is sacrificed to the gods of convenience! And that blue button being pressed? MILLIONS OF WASTED FLOPS! Your computer is literally weeping silicon tears as its precious computing cycles are burned on something you could have done with Find & Replace. The sheer computational DRAMA of it all!

Content Your first podcast will be awful Your first video will be awful Your first article will be awful Your first art will be awful Your first photo will be awful Your first game will be awful But your first code will be perfect. Zero bugs and a very clean code. It will be "Hello World" Me: ››> Print ("Hellow World!") Traceback (most recent call last): File " ", line 1, in Print ("Hellow World!")

The tech industry's eternal optimism in a nutshell! Companies burning through billions in pursuit of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) with that "we're just one funding round away" energy. It's like watching someone with $5 in their bank account plan their yacht purchase. For context, AGI is the holy grail of AI - machines with human-level intelligence across all tasks - and apparently, we're juuuust $20 trillion short! That's basically pocket change if you check between your sofa cushions, right?

Your dream PC build with that shiny new GPU you've been saving for? Yeah, it's dead. AI companies are out here buying GPUs faster than you can refresh Newegg, treating them like Pokémon cards. They're hoarding H100s by the thousands while you're still trying to justify a 4080 to your wallet. The title warns that if this trend continues, they'll start scalping CPUs too, which honestly wouldn't surprise anyone at this point. Nothing says "democratized AI" quite like making sure regular developers can't afford hardware to run anything locally.
