VC Interview Be Like

Management: "Embrace AI tools to boost productivity!" Team: "Let's use AI to draft hilarious resignation letters!" Nothing says "our workplace is thriving" quite like your entire biomedical research team spending company time crafting fake pirate-themed resignation letters. The irony is just *chef's kiss* - they're technically following orders while simultaneously planning their escape routes. Corporate AI initiatives backfiring into a festival of fantasy quitting scenarios might be the most honest performance review feedback ever delivered.

The evolution of programming in one image. Top: Linus Torvalds' humble standing desk setup where he created one of the most influential operating systems in history. Bottom: Modern dev with a fancy RGB battlestation whose primary function is to efficiently copy-paste AI-generated code. We went from "I'm going to revolutionize computing" to "let me ask ChatGPT how to center a div" real quick.

Ah, the classic "I'll just install this cool new tool" saga that ends with your entire workflow in shambles. Cursor (an AI coding assistant) decided it wasn't content being just another app—it wanted to be THE app by hijacking the sacred 'code' command. This is why we can't have nice things in tech. Some product manager somewhere thought, "You know what developers would love? If we silently changed their muscle memory commands without asking!" Ten years of typing the same command, and suddenly you're launching the wrong app because some DevEx team decided their tool deserves keyboard shortcut supremacy. The real kicker is the "No prompt. No warning. Just broken flow." That's developer tool installation in its purest form—surprise chaos with a side of productivity loss. Always read the install scripts, kids. DevEx might be in the details, but so is the devil.

Ah, Amazon Kiro's "revolutionary" spec-driven development in a nutshell! A fancy Venn diagram showing "the flow of vibe coding" and "the clarity of specs" with a ghost in the middle representing the haunting emptiness of this approach. But peek under the hood and what's the grand innovation? Just concatenating the spec to the prompt. That's it. That's the revolutionary breakthrough. The shocked cat at the bottom perfectly captures every engineer's reaction when they realize they've sat through a 2-hour meeting about a "groundbreaking methodology" that's just prompt = spec.toString() + prompt . Corporate development in its natural habitat – repackaging the obvious as innovation since the dawn of computing.

The eternal struggle between developer and AI. One wants a magical performance boost with zero effort, while the other suggests doing actual optimization work. Reminds me of every junior dev who thinks adding more RAM will fix their O(n²) algorithm. Spoiler: it won't. Batman's slap represents the harsh reality check we all need sometimes—no AI will save you from learning proper engineering practices.

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute MADNESS of modern development! 😱 This poor soul is out here playing "AI Hunger Games" with their code! Five browser tabs, five AI overlords, one desperate developer squeezing every last drop of silicon intelligence like they're wringing out a wet towel. The sheer AUDACITY of making ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok and DeepSeek battle it out in a coding thunderdome! And then the dramatic plot twist - running ALL FIVE solutions simultaneously like some kind of deranged code sommelier. "Hmm, this Claude solution has notes of efficiency with a robust error-handling finish..." 💅 It's not programming anymore, it's AI-assisted gambling. And honestly? We're ALL this psychopath now.
