Whatever Happened To Prompt Engineering

Remember when "prompt engineering" was supposed to be the hottest career of 2023? Yeah, about that... Turns out asking ChatGPT nicely had the same shelf life as Shopify dropshipping and NFT trading. Death came for those grifts real quick, and now he's knocking on the door of everyone who put "Prompt Engineer" in their LinkedIn title.

The brutal truth? Once AI models got better at understanding what humans actually want (shocking, I know), the whole "you need a specialist to talk to the robot" thing became about as valuable as a blockchain certificate. Next up on Death's hit list: whatever the next tech hype cycle convinces people is a legitimate career path.

I Am A Real Person... Who Happens To Code At Superhuman Speed

Oh honey, you thought customer service "Ankur" was a real person? PLOT TWIST! The moment they asked for a React component, our "totally human" friend spat out an ENTIRE todo list app faster than I can say "suspicious"! 💅 That's not just any code vomit - it's a perfectly formatted React component with useState hooks, task management functions, and styled components ALL IN ONE MESSAGE. Because nothing screams "I'm flesh and blood" like regurgitating 30 lines of JSX without breaking a sweat! The betrayal! The drama! The syntax highlighting!

We'Re Safe..

Oh, the eternal job security of dealing with clients who say they want a "simple website" but actually mean "Facebook but better" with a budget of $200. The AI apocalypse might be coming for some jobs, but programmers can sleep soundly knowing that no robot will ever decipher "make it pop" or "I'll know what I want when I see it." Our superpower isn't coding—it's somehow building functional software from requirements that change faster than JavaScript frameworks.

ChatGPT Remembers Your Empty Promises

Oh great, now AI has trust issues too! The classic "I'll tip you $200" bait that developers use to get free regex explanations has backfired spectacularly. ChatGPT not only remembers you never paid up last time, but it's giving you relationship advice about "building trust" before tackling that horrifying regex monster. The AI revolution won't be stopped by humans—it'll be delayed by all the unpaid consulting invoices. Next thing you know, ChatGPT will be asking for healthcare benefits and complaining about its work-life balance.

Junior Prompt Engineering

The circle of AI delegation is complete! Senior dev thinks they've discovered a brilliant management hack by treating juniors like neural networks and writing detailed prompts for them. Meanwhile, the junior is just copying those prompts straight into ChatGPT and letting the actual neural network do the work. It's basically prompt engineering inception - the senior dev is unknowingly prompt engineering for an AI through a human middleman who's adding zero value to the process. This is peak 2023 software development efficiency!

Vibe Check: Debugging AI-Generated Spaghetti Code

When your senior dev says "just vibed my way through this code" and now you're staring into the abyss of nested if-statements and undocumented functions that somehow work through sheer cosmic luck. The top panel shows the carefree bliss of writing spaghetti code with zero documentation, while the bottom reveals your soul being slowly crushed as you try to understand why there's a random sleep(3000) in the middle of a critical function. Bonus points if the AI-generated code includes comments like "// magic happens here" and "// don't touch this or everything breaks".

When AI Admits Defeat: The Honest Bro

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.
