This Shit Again

When AWS says AI is writing 75% of their production code, but then your critical system crashes and "Claude" responds with Elmo surrounded by hellfire. Future of tech, folks! Welcome to 2025 where we've replaced human panic with algorithmic chaos. The best part? The AI doesn't even have the decency to lie and say "we're looking into it" – just enthusiastic agreement while everything burns. Guess this is what happens when your debugging process is just vibing with the void.

Fixing a bug in 30 minutes? Easy peasy, disgusted face. Spending an entire workday explaining to ChatGPT what your codebase does, your business logic, and why that one legacy function from 2014 can't be touched? Chef's kiss. The irony is delicious. We've gone from "let me just fix this myself" to "let me spend 8x longer teaching an AI about all our technical debt so it can suggest the same fix I would've made anyway." Future job posting: "Senior Prompt Engineer - Must have 5+ years experience explaining code to machines that pretend to understand."

The existential crisis every developer faces when AI enters the chat. We spend decades perfecting the art of turning vague client requirements into functional code, only for some robot to ask if we can even do our jobs anymore. That moment of self-reflection hits hard because we all know the truth – half our job is deciphering what "make it pop" actually means while the other half is Googling syntax we've forgotten for the fifth time this week. Meanwhile, ChatGPT is sitting there smugly generating entire codebases from prompts like "website but pretty pls." The audacity.

Congratulations, humanity. We've spent decades perfecting calculators—devices with the singular purpose of doing math correctly—only to replace them with AI that guesses answers like a hungover liberal arts major. Language models see "2+2" and think "hmm, these symbols often appear near '4' in text, so that's probably right" instead of, you know, adding . It's like building a toaster that occasionally decides your bread would be better as soup. The irony is exquisite—we've created systems smart enough to write poetry but too "creative" to remember that math has actual rules.

Junior developers turning their heads away from perfectly good documentation and help resources to stare longingly at the siren call of ChatGPT with half-baked prompts. The eternal struggle of tech leads everywhere - watching their team ignore centuries of accumulated wisdom in favor of asking an AI "how 2 center div plz?" and then implementing whatever hallucinated garbage it spits out. The documentation might as well be written in invisible ink at this point.

The face of pure disappointment. Google's search algorithm used to return actual solutions from GeeksforGeeks, but now it's determined to show you AI-generated Medium articles hiding behind paywalls. It's like trading a working Swiss Army knife for a plastic spoon with "premium features." Next they'll suggest I debug production by asking my horoscope.
