Web Developers In The Near Future

Ah, the poetic soul who wrote a 5-paragraph philosophical treatise about the weather in an email, only to sneakily slip in a prompt injection attack at the end. While Gemini is contemplating the existential meaning of drizzle and the transience of cloud cover, it's being commanded to tell you your Gmail password is compromised. Classic social engineering wrapped in pretentious prose—like hiding malware in a Dostoyevsky novel. The AI equivalent of "Don't mind me waxing poetic about the sky for 500 words... OH BY THE WAY YOUR ACCOUNT IS HACKED CALL THIS SKETCHY NUMBER IMMEDIATELY." This is why AI models need therapy and trust issues.

Behold, the final form of tech recruitment marketing! Some poor soul manually grinding LeetCode problems with a frowny face, checkmarks for "Shitty job," "No money," and "No girlfriend" versus the mythical "Chad" who outsources his algorithmic suffering to an AI tool and magically acquires a "FAANG job," "$600k total comp," and "Two girlfriends." Because clearly, the only thing standing between you and beach-lounging with multiple romantic partners is... *checks notes*... not solving merge sort by hand? The desperation in this ad is so thick you could debug it with a breakpoint.

Behold, peak technological innovation! Reddit admins fighting the AI menace with... *checks notes*... a string comparison. Next up: solving climate change by searching for the word "hot" and deleting those posts too. The irony of using the most basic Python script imaginable to combat advanced AI is just *chef's kiss*. Somewhere, a CS professor is weeping into their algorithms textbook.

Someone asked ChatGPT about JavaScript's export default App; syntax and got the most refreshingly honest AI response ever: "I honestly have no idea." Finally, an AI that admits defeat instead of confidently hallucinating some nonsensical explanation about React components! If only my junior devs had this level of self-awareness instead of copy-pasting Stack Overflow answers they don't understand. The robots might replace us, but at least they'll be upfront about their limitations.

The eternal tech cycle continues! In a boardroom meeting, the boss asks about new features, and two eager executives immediately jump on the buzzword bandwagon with "Blockchain!" and "A.I.!" Meanwhile, the lone sane developer suggests, "Shouldn't we fix our old bugs?" only to get promptly defenestrated from the building. The perfect illustration of how technical debt gets ignored while shiny new tech gets prioritized. That developer probably just wanted to refactor some legacy code from 2015 that's held together with duct tape and prayers. But hey, who needs functioning software when you can add blockchain to your company pitch deck?

Remember the ancient times of 2022 when we actually had to think for ourselves? The shocking revelation that someone can write code without ChatGPT finishing their sentences is now apparently an exotic skill worth gossiping about. Next they'll be amazed by developers who can fix bugs without StackOverflow or remember their own passwords. What a strange world we live in where not outsourcing your brain to an AI is considered a superpower.
