Who Needs Algorithms If You Have AI

When Cloudflare goes down, the internet basically ceases to exist. So what's a desperate dev to do when they can't access their AI chatbot girlfriend? Apparently resort to doing matrix multiplication by hand on paper like some kind of mathematical caveman. The desperation has reached new, sad heights. Next they'll be writing love letters in binary and folding them into paper airplanes.

The tables have turned so fast it's giving whiplash. Started out feeling all superior for writing code the old-fashioned way while everyone else was copy-pasting from ChatGPT. Now? You're the one frantically prompting AI while the holdouts are somehow still grinding out their artisanal, hand-crafted functions. The real kicker is both sides think they're on the sunny side of this bus. Reality check: we're all on the same ride to obsolescence, just taking different routes. The "Using AI" crowd went from smug early adopters to desperate productivity junkies, while the "Not Using AI" folks went from stressed purists to... wait, are they actually less stressed now? That can't be right. Plot twist: neither side is winning. One's debugging AI hallucinations at 2 AM, the other's still writing boilerplate like it's 2015. Choose your poison, I guess.

Oh, welcome to modern programming—where your IDE is just a browser with five AI tabs open. Remember when we used to debug our own code? Now we're just glorified AI wranglers, making the machines fight each other for the best solution. The truly painful part isn't even the AI dependency—it's the brutal self-awareness at the end. "It's me." Yeah buddy, it's all of us now. We've evolved from Stack Overflow copy-paste artists to AI response evaluators. Progress? Next week we'll just have AIs asking other AIs and cut out the middleman entirely. My job security is weeping in the corner.

Einstein says insanity is repeating the same thing expecting different results, while machine learning algorithms are literally just vibing through thousands of iterations with the same dataset until something clicks. The irony is delicious - what we mock as human stupidity, we celebrate as AI brilliance. Next time your model is on its 10,000th epoch, just remember: it's not failing, it's "converging to an optimal solution." Gradient descent? More like gradient stubbornness.

Oh. My. GOD. This absolute MADMAN is out here coding UI in pure C while the rest of us are frantically learning our 47th JavaScript framework! 💅 Look at this CHAOS WIZARD manually drawing rectangles and buttons with raw C code like it's 1985! Meanwhile React developers are having existential crises when their npm packages are 3 minutes out of date. The AUDACITY of this programmer to declare "not getting replaced by AI" while doing something so unnecessarily complicated that even AI would look at it and say "no thanks, I'll stick to generating cat pictures." The video title says it all - this isn't about efficiency, it's about SPITE. Pure, beautiful, petty programmer spite. And with nearly half a million views, apparently spite sells!

That hollow feeling when you watch an AI model execute your former coding responsibilities with cold, algorithmic precision. There you sit, equal parts impressed and devastated, as your precious hand-crafted algorithms—once your pride and joy—are now just another task for the silicon overlord. The machine doesn't even have the decency to struggle with that tricky edge case that kept you up for three nights. Relationship status with your code: It's complicated.
