We're So Close To AGI

Nothing says "modern developer" quite like pasting ChatGPT responses into production and calling yourself "full-stack." The sad Pepe frog knows the truth – your stack is just HTML you barely understand, vibes you're desperately faking, and bugs you can't fix without asking AI for help again. The tears aren't from debugging; they're from the realization that your entire career is held together by prompts and prayers.

Remember when we used to brag about building an app in 5 hours? Now we're just prompt engineers telling AI, "Hey, make me an app that does X" and then spending 4 minutes and 55 seconds scrolling Twitter while it works. Sure, the AI-built app has 47 different railway tracks going in random directions instead of our nice straightforward solution, but who cares? The client can't tell the difference and we still charge them for the full 5 hours anyway.

Ah, the classic "stay in your lane" principle taken to its logical conclusion! When someone who knows nothing about cars or rockets starts pontificating about software, it's like watching a toddler try to explain quantum physics. Every developer has that moment of clarity when a non-technical person with a god complex starts explaining how "AI just needs more if-else statements" or how "coding is just typing." The beautiful irony is that software is the one field where we can actually verify someone's genius (or lack thereof) with a simple code review. Suddenly all those "genius" credentials start looking like a Stack Overflow copy-paste job with syntax errors.

Ah, the classic corporate dilemma: "We need more engineers!" *proceeds to post job listings* while simultaneously a headline announces an AI that can supposedly replace them. The irony is delicious. Companies are still desperately hiring humans while breathlessly hyping the AI that will make us obsolete. Fifteen years in this industry and I've seen this movie before—neural networks, blockchain, quantum computing—all going to revolutionize everything... until they don't. Meanwhile, some poor hiring manager is still trying to find a senior dev with 10 years experience in a 3-year-old framework for entry-level pay. The circle of tech life continues.

The big AI models (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude) get all the glory while your scrappy little homegrown model sits alone in the dark. It's that moment when you've spent months fine-tuning your own AI on a single GPU while the tech giants deploy thousands of servers. But hey, at least your model doesn't need an internet connection and won't hallucinate facts about your codebase! There's something beautifully defiant about running your own AI locally—like growing vegetables in your backyard while everyone else shops at Whole Foods. Your electricity bill might disagree though.
