There Will Be Signs

Remember when we used to write our own algorithms? Now we're just watching ChatGPT and Deepseek haul our careers up the mountain while we take a nap in the sleeping bag of obsolescence. And the worst part? We have the audacity to brag about our "productivity" like we actually did something impressive. "Look how far I climbed" – yeah buddy, you typed a prompt and took a coffee break while the AI did all the heavy lifting. The only muscle you've exercised is your index finger hitting Ctrl+V.

The brutal truth of modern tech interviews! At home, you're basically Thanos with the infinity gauntlet of tools—VSCode, GitHub Copilot, DeepSeek, and other AI assistants making you feel like you could snap half the bugs out of existence. But the moment you step into that interview room? Suddenly you're Rhino from Spider-Man—sweating in a ridiculous costume while trying to remember how to reverse a linked list on a whiteboard. The cognitive dissonance between our tool-augmented daily coding superpowers and the bare-metal interview process is the ultimate developer identity crisis.

OH. MY. GOD. The BRUTAL truth about our toxic relationship with AI coding assistants! 💅 We're literally gambling our productivity away with these AI slot machines! Type a vague prompt, hit "Generate" and PRAY TO THE CODING GODS that you'll get something that doesn't make your compiler have an existential crisis! "Just one more prompt, I swear this will fix it!" - me, 47 prompts later, sobbing into my energy drink while my deadline approaches at the speed of light. Meanwhile, OpenAI is cackling all the way to the bank! The absolute AUDACITY of spending 3 hours prompting for something that would take 20 minutes to code yourself. But here we are, calling ourselves "prompt engineers" like we've invented a new profession instead of admitting we're just gambling addicts in developer hoodies! 💁‍♀️

Ah, the beautiful dance of prompt engineering! This is what happens when you try to get an AI to generate a specific movie scene but keep hitting content policy walls. The user starts with a simple request for a Samuel L. Jackson meme, and watches in horror as the AI keeps multiplying characters with each attempt like it's running some bizarre cloning experiment. This is basically modern programming in 2024 - spending hours trying to phrase your request juuuust right so the AI doesn't hallucinate an entire cast reunion when you just wanted one angry dude with a gun. The final result? A perfect example of how "prompt engineering" is just fancy talk for "begging the computer to do what you actually want instead of what it thinks you want."

Ah yes, the pinnacle of modern debugging: when your code fails, just ask ChatGPT to fix it. Who needs Stack Overflow anymore when you can just wrap your entire codebase in a try-catch and let AI handle the rest? Next step: AI that writes the bugs for you so the other AI can fix them. The circle of life in silicon.

Someone's trying to trick ChatGPT into running the digital equivalent of a nuclear bomb. That sudo rm -rf /* --no-preserve-root command? It's basically asking to delete EVERYTHING on a Linux system. Like, "Hey computer, please commit suicide real quick." The genius part is wrapping it in a sob story about grandma's dying wish. Nice try, Satan! ChatGPT's "Internal Server Error" is basically it having an existential crisis while trying to figure out how to politely decline nuking someone's computer. Somewhere, a sysadmin just felt a disturbance in the force and doesn't know why.
