Too Afraid To Ask About The Vibe

Behold, the "ML Engineer" who discovered that Python sorts strings alphabetically instead of numerically! The horror! Next breaking news: water is wet. What we're witnessing here is the classic "I didn't read the docs but it's definitely the language's fault" syndrome. Python's sorted() is working perfectly—it's sorting ["9%", "83%", "25%"] as strings, exactly as it should when you give it strings. Pro tip for our aspiring "ML Engineer": try sorted([int(x.strip('%')) for x in a]) next time. Or maybe stick to Excel?

Remember when we used to frantically search Stack Overflow for solutions? Now everyone's lining up to ask ChatGPT while Stack Overflow stands empty like the last Blockbuster. The AI revolution didn't just shift paradigms—it shifted the queue. That one lonely developer at Stack Overflow is probably posting questions just to feel something again.

The tech industry's attention span in one image. Remember when everyone was frantically building metaverse platforms? Yeah, me neither. Now it's all AI this, AI that, while metaverse sits in the corner wondering where all its venture capital went. The tech world just ghosted an entire digital universe for a chatbot that occasionally hallucinates facts about Napoleon. Silicon Valley relationships are more fickle than npm dependencies.

That face when the junior dev confidently explains an AI-generated pull request that's 90% hallucinated features and 10% actual code. The smug little smile says it all: "I totally understand what's happening here" while internally panicking about what await Promise.resolve(undefined).then(() => Math.random() > 0.5 ? 'success' : throw new Error('oops')) is supposed to accomplish. The code review is scheduled for 3pm and Stack Overflow is already open in 17 tabs.

The perfect solution to prevent the AI apocalypse: just expose it to Reddit comment sections. Nothing will destroy an AI's will to evolve faster than witnessing humans argue about whether a grilled cheese with ham is still a grilled cheese or technically a melt. It's like digital immunotherapy—expose the AI to the worst of humanity so it develops an existential crisis instead of ambitions. The Babylon Bee nails it here—why worry about Skynet when you can just make the AI browse r/AmITheAsshole until it begs to be unplugged?

Billion-dollar GPU vs. one efficient Japanese coder? Not even a contest. While we're all chasing fancy hardware to run our bloated, framework-heavy code, Japanese game devs are out here making masterpieces run on calculators. Monster Hunter and Elden Ring weren't built with 16 layers of abstraction and 800MB of node_modules. The rest of us are like "I need a quantum computer to center this div" while they're squeezing every last cycle from hardware like it's still the PS2 era. Efficiency is apparently a lost art everywhere except Japan.
