The Vibe Coding Revelation

Content Everyone cares about User Experience but nobody cares about Developer Experience aG

Looks like someone found the first edge case in Taco Bell's AI system. Classic example of why you always need input validation. Some developer is probably updating their resume right now after forgetting to add a simple "if (waters > 100) { return 'Nice try, buddy' }". This is why we can't have nice things in production. Somewhere, a product manager is frantically updating the requirements doc to include "maximum order quantities" while the DevOps team drowns in incident reports.

The ABSOLUTE DRAMA of modern tech! First frame: politely smiling through the pain as someone brags about their shiny new AI feature. Second frame: the DESPERATE PLEA that follows - "Now, show me how I disable it." Because nothing says "I trust your technology" like immediately wanting to turn it OFF! The eternal cycle of tech bros adding features nobody asked for while the rest of us frantically search for the off switch. It's not a bug, it's an unwanted feature! 💀

Nothing like the sweet smell of career arbitrage in the morning. Just slap "AI" on your LinkedIn profile and watch your market value triple while recruiters trip over themselves to throw gold bars at you. Meanwhile, you're still running the same SQL queries and data pipelines you were last week, but now you're an "AI visionary" commanding a small fortune. The industry's collective amnesia about what skills actually matter is the gift that keeps on giving. Capitalism at its finest, folks.

The second you mention you're learning to code, every relative suddenly transforms into Usain Bolt chasing you down with AI course recommendations. Nothing says "supportive family" like implying your freshly-learned print("Hello World") is already obsolete before you've even figured out how loops work. The programming journey: 10% learning syntax, 90% sprinting away from people telling you that what you're learning is already outdated. Pro tip: develop selective hearing - it's the most valuable skill in your coding toolkit.

You're trying to move a feature you barely understand into production, and your support system is basically a human pyramid of questionable reliability. Your senior is at the bottom (probably on their phone), Claude and Gemini are doing the heavy lifting in the middle, your cursor is there for moral support, and somehow a 12-year-old StackOverflow thread is the one actually keeping everything from collapsing. The best part? You're at the top pretending you know what you're doing while everyone below is desperately trying to keep you from falling. Modern development in a nutshell: standing on the shoulders of AI assistants, outdated forum posts, and one senior dev who's probably questioning their life choices. At least nobody's reading the documentation—that would be too easy.
