Time-Traveling AI Enthusiast

Ah, the classic corporate dilemma: "We need more engineers!" *proceeds to post job listings* while simultaneously a headline announces an AI that can supposedly replace them. The irony is delicious. Companies are still desperately hiring humans while breathlessly hyping the AI that will make us obsolete. Fifteen years in this industry and I've seen this movie before—neural networks, blockchain, quantum computing—all going to revolutionize everything... until they don't. Meanwhile, some poor hiring manager is still trying to find a senior dev with 10 years experience in a 3-year-old framework for entry-level pay. The circle of tech life continues.

The ancient developer ritual: boss announces a new app, teammates immediately suggest AI tools, and the one guy who remembers what programming is gets defenestrated for his troubles. Apparently suggesting actual coding is now a capital offense in tech meetings. What's next, suggesting we read documentation?

Oh. My. GOD. The existential crisis of our generation in TWO FRAMES?! 💀 First he's like "I don't care if AI wins over programmers" acting all tough and unbothered. Then BOOM—the punchline hits: "I just need FAANG to lose." It's the tech industry's villain origin story! Doesn't care about the robot apocalypse as long as those Silicon Valley giants get taken down with us. The PETTINESS! The DRAMA! The absolute CHAOS of prioritizing corporate revenge over humanity's survival! We're not just coding anymore, we're picking sides in the tech civil war. And honestly? Mood.

The classic bait-and-switch of AI development! First panel: "I love being an AI driven developer" sounds impressive—you're at the cutting edge of tech, working with sophisticated neural networks and machine learning algorithms. Second panel: "I get to work with models all day"... and there's the punchline. It's not about elegant mathematical models or groundbreaking algorithms—it's just endless prompt engineering, debugging hallucinations, and begging ChatGPT to format your JSON correctly for the 47th time today. The facepalm says it all. We've gone from writing code to writing increasingly desperate pleas to language models.

When your boss says "we need to implement machine learning" but all you really need is a simple if-statement. The eternal struggle of devs everywhere - getting asked to use a sledgehammer when a regular hammer would do just fine. The math behind ML is the unsexy reality nobody wants to talk about at standup.

Ah yes, the coveted "No AI" badge—proudly displayed by developers who spent 17 hours debugging their own spaghetti code instead of asking ChatGPT to fix it in 3 seconds. It's like bragging about churning your own butter when there's a perfectly good supermarket next door. "Look at me, I suffered unnecessarily and have the dark circles under my eyes to prove it!" Meanwhile, the deadline was yesterday and the client is wondering why a simple feature costs more than their car payment.
