Who Needs Junior Devs Anyway

Copilot is that "helpful" AI pair programmer who creates more problems than it solves. It's like having an intern who confidently writes myAwesomeVariableThatDoesStuff when your codebase uses snake_case, adds comments like "// This function does things" and then has the audacity to hold your actual productivity hostage behind a paywall. The smug satisfaction on that farmer's face perfectly captures Copilot's attitude: "Sure, I wrote garbage code that violates every convention in your project, but hey... it ain't much, but it's honest work." Honest work my keyboard! It's digital sabotage with a subscription fee.

Ah yes, the pinnacle of modern debugging: when your code fails, just ask ChatGPT to fix it. Who needs Stack Overflow anymore when you can just wrap your entire codebase in a try-catch and let AI handle the rest? Next step: AI that writes the bugs for you so the other AI can fix them. The circle of life in silicon.

The stark reality of today's coding world in one perfect meme. Senior dev finally had enough of watching the junior generate 200 lines of spaghetti code with GitHub Copilot just to print "Hello World". The painful truth is we're raising a generation of devs who can't fizzbuzz their way out of a paper bag without an AI whispering sweet solutions in their ear. And yet... aren't we all just one Stack Overflow outage away from revealing our true incompetence?

Ah, the evolution of our noble profession! Remember when developers were depicted as muscular gods who could write flawless code without Stack Overflow, build entire games in Assembly, send rockets to the moon, and fix memory leaks by manually adjusting pointers? Fast forward to today's reality: frantically Googling basic CSS centering (still an unsolved mystery of computer science), begging ChatGPT to fix our syntax errors, getting trapped in Vim like it's some kind of developer hazing ritual, and the classic "fix one bug, spawn three more" hydra effect. The greatest irony? Those "superhuman" developers from the past would probably spend three hours debugging their Assembly code only to realize they forgot a semicolon. We've just outsourced our impostor syndrome to AI assistants.

The Reddit algorithm has commitment issues worse than those wedding day deserters. You're scrolling through a thread about people abandoning their partners at the altar, and BAM—suddenly you're being pitched a GitHub issue processor for AI coding that costs less than a gumball. It's like the algorithm saw a thread about relationship abandonment and thought, "You know what this person needs? Some cheap API calls!" The digital equivalent of responding to someone's breakup story with "That's rough buddy, wanna see my new keyboard shortcuts?"

AI is that new junior dev who can write an entire e-commerce platform from scratch overnight but stares blankly at the screen for hours when you ask it to fix a missing semicolon. The duality is real - fancy tuxedo for creating complex systems, but turn into a teeth-grinding maniac when faced with debugging the simplest issues. Just like the rest of us, except we don't have the excuse of being a neural network.
