Who Needs Junior Devs Anyway

The four stages of training an AI model, as experienced by every data scientist who's ever lived: First panel: Innocent optimism. "Training time!" Oh, you sweet summer child. Second panel: Desperate pleading. "C'MON LEARN FASTER" while staring at that pathetic learning curve that's flatter than the Earth according to conspiracy theorists. Third panel: The error messages. Just endless red text that might as well be hieroglyphics. *SIGH* indeed. Fourth panel: Complete surrender. "3, 6, 2!!!" *shoots model* "I'LL GO GET THE NEXT ONE." Because nothing says machine learning like throwing away hours of work and starting from scratch for the fifth time today. The real joke is that we keep doing this voluntarily. For money. And sometimes fun?

Ah, the sweet innocence of AI coding assistants. You ask them to fix one simple bug, and they happily fly away while your codebase explodes in the background. Twenty years in this industry and I've learned one truth: the only thing more dangerous than a junior dev with admin access is an AI confidently "helping" your code. The smug little face says it all - "My work here is done!" Meanwhile, you're left explaining to the product manager why the login button now launches nuclear missiles. Classic case of the cure being worse than the disease.

Asking how to check LLM code quality without being an expert is like asking how to check if your parachute works without jumping out of a plane. The irony is delicious - you're using an LLM to ask how to evaluate LLM-generated code. It's the digital equivalent of asking a toddler if they think they should have more candy. The answer is always "yes" and always suspiciously in their favor.

Someone discovered "vibe coding" with AI and thinks they're a developer now. Next week they'll discover what debugging AI-generated code is like when their app crashes in production and the error message is just "vibes were off." The honeymoon phase of AI coding always ends when you realize the AI confidently wrote 300 lines of beautiful nonsense that imports packages that don't exist.

Remember when 8GB VRAM was god-tier? Now it's the bare minimum for running those bloated AI models and rendering engines. $400 for entry-level specs that would've been flagship material a decade ago is the new normal. The hardware inflation is so bad that we're genuinely excited about mediocrity. Next we'll be celebrating when our IDE opens in under a minute.

The world map illuminated in four different ways - ports, airports, railroads, and then... complete darkness for "Developers who use Meta AI." Nothing says "I've made terrible life choices" quite like being the only demographic that doesn't show up on a global heatmap. Congratulations Meta AI users, you've achieved what introverts have dreamed of for centuries - complete invisibility! The void stares back, and it's running on Meta's large language model.
