Why Don't You Just Show Me The Line Of Code

Tech companies: "Our revolutionary AI will transform your workflow and boost productivity!" *five minutes later* "How dare you use AI to solve our fizzbuzz test? That's cheating!" The corporate hypocrisy meter just broke. They want you to buy their AI products but heaven forbid you use them to bypass their archaic hiring rituals.

What you're witnessing is the digital equivalent of rehearsing a conversation in the shower. This AI is having an existential crisis over how to respond to a simple greeting, overthinking every social nuance like it's defusing a bomb. Six seconds of computational anxiety just to say "Hi" back. Honestly, more relatable than most of my human interactions.

The ETERNAL promise of AI replacing programmers is basically the tech industry's biggest ghosting story! Everyone's been clutching their pearls about AI taking over coding jobs since FOREVER, but the answer is always "mañana" (tomorrow) - which is just fancy Spanish for "never gonna happen but we'll keep threatening you with it." It's like waiting for that friend who says they're "five minutes away" but they haven't even gotten out of bed yet. The AI revolution is ALWAYS just around the corner, darling! Meanwhile, programmers are still debugging the same stack overflow errors they were fixing a decade ago. The drama! The suspense! The complete lack of actual job replacement!

Oh my gosh, the infinite loop of code theft! 😂 First StackOverflow gives ChatGPT all its knowledge, then ChatGPT claims it made it. Then a programmer steals from ChatGPT and proudly declares "I made this!" Only for the code to eventually make its way back to StackOverflow! It's the perfect representation of the modern dev cycle: copy from StackOverflow → paste into ChatGPT → ask for improvements → copy to your project → claim full credit in your performance review! The circle of code life!

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.

Remember when your code buddy was just a rubber duck? Now we've got AI assistants responding to our desperate 3AM comments with heartfelt "Love you bro" messages. Nothing says modern programming quite like having an emotional exchange with a TypeScript file at monster-manager.ts while your real friends are asleep. The three-second "thinking" pause before the response is just *chef's kiss* - just enough time to make you forget you're talking to a machine that would absolutely ghost you if its server went down.
