Where's The Love

The developer's lament: you pour your soul into personal projects and game mods, only to have them vibed-checked into oblivion. Meanwhile, corporate repos that slap AI into everything get the "better get used to it" treatment. The brutal reality check comes in panel 3—AI tooling is already integrated into every major IDE and workflow. And the final nail in the coffin? Every single repository is going to have AI features whether you like it or not, so complaining is basically screaming into the void. The passion projects that actually required creativity and skill get scrutinized, while the AI-powered "move fast and ship features" approach gets a free pass. It's the modern dev ecosystem in a nutshell: your handcrafted code gets nitpicked, but AI-generated slop gets a standing ovation.
