Web Developers In The Near Future

When your data scientist crush drops the ultimate bombshell: "data matters more than the model." That painful moment when you realize all those weeks perfecting that fancy neural network architecture were pointless because your training data is just a dumpster fire of inconsistencies. The hardest pill to swallow in machine learning isn't some complex math equation—it's accepting that your beautiful, elegant algorithm is worthless without quality data behind it. Garbage in, garbage out... no matter how many GPUs you sacrificed.

The tech billionaire claims they don't use Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) much anymore, while a deep learning pioneer questions how real-time image processing could work without them. Meanwhile, the punchline suggests former Twitter employees are manually doing what AI should be automating—literally drawing circles around objects by hand! It's the classic "we've replaced sophisticated technology with underpaid humans" move that every veteran engineer has seen at least once. Some VP somewhere is definitely calling this "an innovative hybrid approach" while the poor souls circle road signs in MS Paint for 8 hours a day.

Oh the irony! OpenAI is hiring frontend engineers while ChatGPT is out here writing code for everyone else! 😂 It's like your calculator applying for a math teacher position. Maybe they're trying to build the ultimate recursive loop - ChatGPT building the interface that powers ChatGPT! Next thing you know, it'll be sending itself LinkedIn connection requests. The ultimate "I can do your job but also need your job" situation!

The railroad tracks of progress have certainly gotten more complex! On the left, we have the traditional straight-line coding path—simple, predictable, and takes you 5 hours to reach a single destination. On the right, the AI-assisted coding multiverse with infinite possibilities, chaotic intersections, and enough track switches to give a train conductor an existential crisis. Sure, you'll build your app in 5 minutes with AI, but then spend the next 4 hours and 55 minutes figuring out which of the 47 different generated solutions actually works without summoning digital Cthulhu to your codebase. The real question: are we moving faster or just creating more impressive train wrecks?

Ah, the classic bell curve of AI anxiety. The folks at the low end of the IQ spectrum are blissfully confident they can't be replaced because they don't understand what's coming. The geniuses at the high end know they're safe because they're the ones building the AI overlords. Meanwhile, the rest of us in the middle—just smart enough to understand the threat but not brilliant enough to be irreplaceable—are sweating bullets. This is basically the tech industry's version of "ignorance is bliss" meets "knowledge is power," with the vast majority of us stuck in purgatory. Twenty years in this field and I'm still not sure if I should be learning to code better or learning to make coffee for the robots.
