Who Needs Junior Devs Anyway

The modern developer's descent into madness: First, we try ChatGPT because who has time to actually solve problems? When that fails, we panic and throw Perplexity at it because clearly we need a different AI. Still stuck? Obviously our prompt game is weak! Let's use Claude to generate a better prompt for ChatGPT. And the final evolutionary stage: using ChatGPT to generate a Perplexity prompt that generates a ChatGPT prompt. Meanwhile, the documentation sits there, unread, silently judging our AI-prompt-inception circus. The clown makeup is just our career progression visualized.

Let's be real—AI chatbots aren't your coding buddies, they're just wolves in sheep's clothing. They slide you that suspiciously perfect code snippet and have the audacity to ask "Does this work?" like they don't already know the answer. Meanwhile, you're about to copy-paste that disaster straight into production because hey, who has time to actually test things? The real joke is that the chatbot is training you to debug its hallucinations. Next time just reply "works perfectly" and watch your server catch fire from a distance.

The JavaScript ecosystem's greatest fear: finding out some random AI model was trained on their npm packages. The title "I Tsc Alled Dis Ti Lla Tion" is a play on "distillation" - the process where AI models learn from other models - but butchered to include "tsc" (TypeScript compiler) and broken into syllables like someone having a panic attack. Nothing sends a JavaScript developer into hysterics faster than discovering their precious code snippets are now being regurgitated by ChatGPT. Meanwhile, the logos for TypeScript, React, and Node.js perfectly represent the frameworks watching their intellectual property get slurped up by the AI void.

Remember the ancient times of 2022 when developers wrote their own code? Now we're all just whispering sweet nothings to ChatGPT and hoping it understands our vague requirements. Coding without AI assistance has become the programming equivalent of churning your own butter or writing with a quill pen. "Did you hear? Sarah actually remembers how to reverse a binary tree WITHOUT asking Claude!" *gasps dramatically* The real flex in 2024 isn't having a Lamborghini—it's being able to debug your own code without an AI sidekick.

Remember the innocent days when AI was just about identifying cats and dogs? Fast forward to now, and suddenly we're in an arms race to create sentient beings. The escalation from "look, my model can tell a golden retriever from a tabby!" to "we're literally creating consciousness before our geopolitical rivals" happened so fast I got whiplash. Venture capital really took "move fast and break things" and applied it to the fabric of existence itself. Next quarterly goal: playing God with better ROI than the competition.

Terminal users rejecting the simple ls command in favor of the more verbose $~ Show me the contents of the folder is peak AI prompt era nonsense. Next thing you know they'll be typing "Please, kind terminal, would you be so gracious as to display all hidden files" instead of ls -la . The efficiency is just... gone.
