The Modern Developer's Time Paradox

The duality of modern coding life. First panel: "OMG, GitHub Copilot is free in VS Code?!" *frantically puts on glasses to see clearly* Second panel: "Wait... my code is free for GitHub Copilot?" *realization sets in* Remember when we used to worry about other devs stealing our code? Now we're feeding the AI overlords our precious algorithms so they can regurgitate them to junior devs who'll get paid more than us. The circle of tech life, folks.

Nothing says "I'm about to create absolute chaos" like importing TensorFlow as plt, Pandas as np, NumPy as tf, and Matplotlib as pd. This unholy alias swap is the data science equivalent of putting the milk in before the cereal. Even Satan himself is impressed by this level of pure evil. It's the kind of code that makes senior devs wake up in cold sweats and frantically check their git blame history.

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute TRAGEDY of modern development! 😭 You start with ONE measly problem that's driving you insane. Then your sleep-deprived brain thinks, "ChatGPT will save me!" But PLOT TWIST! Now you're drowning in a sea of strawberry-themed errors because ChatGPT decided to hallucinate an entire fruit salad of solutions! Is it "strawberry" or "strawbery" or "strawberrrrrry"?! WHO KNOWS ANYMORE?! The AI doesn't! And now instead of fixing one problem, you're questioning your entire career choice while debugging AI-generated code that's about as reliable as a chocolate teapot. The circle of developer suffering is COMPLETE!

Remember when buying a GPU was just an expense and not a second mortgage? In 2009, dropping $500 on a graphics card felt like a splurge. Fast forward to 2025, and you're staring at a $4,799 price tag with the same horrified expression as someone who just found out their entire codebase has no comments. Thanks crypto miners, AI enthusiasts, and whatever unholy alliance of market forces conspired to make rendering pixels cost more than my first car. At this rate, we'll soon be trading organs for ray tracing capabilities.

Content The Self Taught "Serious" Programmer Starter Kit "Just learn assemblv" What the hell is a proof? "bro, you don't need math" Has zero professional experience Lacks basic computer architecture fundamentals despite praising its importance Very active in r/_programming Over emphasizes the importance of code editors and sneers at IDEs made with mematie

The time traveler has been spotted! ChatGPT launched in 2022, but apparently Courage was the beta tester back in '96. That old computer wasn't running Python or JavaScript—it was running pure anxiety. The irony of a "cowardly" dog secretly being the first AI prompt engineer is just *chef's kiss*. Developers today think they're revolutionary for asking an AI to write their regex, meanwhile Courage was probably using it to generate excuses for Eustace about why the farm's network was down again.
