Time Traveling AI Engineer

When the CAPTCHA goes from "select all traffic lights" to a full-blown biology exam. Those duck feet at the top and nine different animals below? Clearly designed by a sadistic backend dev who got rejected by a UI designer. The real Turing test here is figuring out if you're supposed to click on birds, cats, or just give up and accept that bots have better animal anatomy knowledge than humans. Next they'll ask us to identify which semicolon is missing from a screenshot of 500 lines of JavaScript.

The ultimate dream isn't having AI code for you or do your laundry - it's having AI handle everything while you ascend to your final form: a professional couch potato. Why optimize workflows when you can eliminate them? The future isn't about productivity tools; it's about outsourcing your entire existence to algorithms so you can finally achieve humanity's true purpose: absolutely nothing. The singularity isn't something to fear - it's something to schedule your Netflix binges around.

Oh god, this is brilliant. Just imagine all those LinkedIn posts now: "Our new cocaine-powered chatbot will revolutionize customer service!" or "Top 10 ways cocaine will disrupt your industry!" The tech hype cycle and the actual cocaine cycle have the same phases: initial euphoria, inflated expectations, crushing disappointment, and somehow still costing you all your money. The only difference is one crashes after 20 minutes and the other after your next funding round.

Turns out the most advanced AI was just 700 people in a trenchcoat. Builder.ai allegedly sold "AI" that was actually just outsourced developers pretending to be Natasha the chatbot. The classic "artificial" intelligence that's actually just regular intelligence with extra steps. Next revelation: ChatGPT is just a guy named Greg in a basement with really fast typing skills.

Content "Higher-Order-Vibes" Are Killing the Vibe Coding Industry I used to be a 10x Vibecoder. A prompt artisan with five years of vibe experience on my CV. My job was to whisper sweet nothings into our company's overpriced ChatGPT wrapper. The MVPs shipped one after the other. I was good. Then, word come out about "Higher-Order-Vibes": Prompts which coaxed Als to act like vibe coders. Some Satoshi-wannabe released the whitepaper anonymously, and it became the talk of every CTO. It was a replacement. A dehumanizing monstrosity which stood against everything I vibed for. My first day with HOV, I fed it a hand-crafted prompt for a meditation app. Then, it responded: > Prompt too detailed. Over-specified. Try to feel it more. I'll take it from here. Then it generated the app. It was perfect. Better than anything I could have put into wishful words. It even chose to use Elm instead of Svelte, and wrote a 500-word justification explaining that the vibe was more aligned like that." Let this be a warning. Our craft, our vibing age is coming to an end.
