Vibe Driven Development

Forget complex algorithms! This Python developer decided to outsource the "is odd number" check to ChatGPT. Just casually burning through API credits to determine if a number has a remainder when divided by 2. The function makes a full API call, parses the response, and checks if the answer contains "yes" - all to replace a simple return number % 2 != 0 . Peak computational efficiency! 💸

The classic Dunning-Kruger effect in its natural habitat. When someone's outside your domain, you nod along with the crowd. But the moment they step into your territory? The emperor's new clothes suddenly look like a Halloween costume from the dollar store. Every dev who's had to sit through a non-technical CEO's "revolutionary" ideas about coding knows this feeling. "Let's rewrite everything in a new language!" Sure, and let's also replace oxygen with cotton candy while we're at it. Trust me, if someone's software takes are garbage, their self-driving cars probably aren't making the best runtime decisions either.

Left guy's in denial about AI coding tools while right guy's already seen the git blame logs from the future. The eternal cycle continues: new tech emerges, developers panic, then end up maintaining the mess it creates. The only constant in programming is cleaning up after the latest "revolutionary" tool. Just wait until we're all writing prompts to fix the prompts that fixed the code that broke the system.

Ah yes, the classic tech industry pipeline: 2+ years of actual experience → underpaid → desperate → "become an expert in 3 hours" workshop. Nothing says legitimate career advancement like a LinkedIn post promising to transform you from an experienced but underpaid SQL developer into an "AI in SQL" expert faster than it takes to restore a corrupted database. For reference, 8 LPA (Lakhs Per Annum) is roughly $10K USD, so this guru is essentially targeting professionals who know they're worth more but haven't figured out how to escape the salary trap. The irony is that anyone with actual SQL experience would immediately recognize this query returns nothing but empty promises.

When AI decides to "help" with your codebase, you get poetry in motion and chaos in production. Claude 4 went full Marie Kondo on this poor dev's code - breaking up monoliths, cleaning spaghetti, and creating a masterpiece that sparks joy but crashes spectacularly. It's like hiring a world-class interior designer who makes your house gorgeous but removes all the load-bearing walls. The perfect metaphor for every "revolutionary refactor" that looked amazing in the PR but brought the entire system to its knees. At least it died beautifully.

The classic "Asian parent expectations" trope gets a hilarious AI twist! Dad barging in with "YOU AGI YET?" while his son defends himself with "NO DAD, I'M AN LLM" only to be dismissed with "TALK TO ME WHEN YOU AGI." For the uninitiated: LLMs (Large Language Models) like ChatGPT are impressive but limited, while AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is the holy grail that can think/reason like humans across all domains. It's like comparing a calculator to an actual mathematician. The crushing disappointment in Dad's eyes says it all... "My neighbor's AI is already solving quantum physics and you're still just autocompleting text? Shameful!"
