Why Tech Jobs Are Crying

Oh how the mighty have fallen! 💀 Remember when companies expected you to master 17 different technologies, frameworks, and certifications in the time it takes to microwave a burrito? Now they're just like "Here's a course on how to ask an AI to do your job for you." The absolute AUDACITY of these companies thinking they can replace our blood, sweat, and Stack Overflow tears with "Hey Copilot, make me look competent." Next they'll be offering courses on "How to look busy while an LLM writes your entire codebase" and "Advanced techniques in taking credit for AI-generated solutions." The tech industry's evolution from "prove your worth through impossible certifications" to "just learn to type good prompts" is the greatest betrayal since they removed the headphone jack!

Ah, the classic "locally running fine-tuned model" joke that perfectly skewers both tech bros and Nvidia's marketing department in one fell swoop. This is riffing on how Nvidia has been aggressively pushing AI capabilities in everything from gaming to dating. The tweet satirizes the absurd endpoint of this trend – where even your romantic partners need to be running on local hardware to be "legitimate." As someone who's watched GPU prices skyrocket while marketing slides get increasingly unhinged, I feel this in my empty wallet. Next they'll be selling us RTX 5090s with "girlfriend-ready ray tracing" for the low price of your firstborn child.

Anthropic drops a billion on Bum (probably some AI startup or acqui-hire), meanwhile someone just casually hits that fork button on GitHub and gets the exact same codebase for the low, low price of absolutely nothing. Open source licensing is basically the ultimate "right-click, save as" for entire companies. The best part? They're both technically legal moves. One guy's burning VC money like it's going out of style, the other's just... using git as intended. That's the beauty and chaos of open source—your billion-dollar acquisition is literally one git clone away from being commoditized.

Google Gemini just gave the most "random" string in the history of random strings. Nothing says "I'm definitely not using a pattern" like literally using the alphabet followed by sequential numbers. That's like asking for a random password and getting "password123". Next they'll tell us their favorite dice roll is always 3.5.

Content software engineers from stackoverflow & forum era enjoying their best life due to massive vibecoding hysteria: Post AI "software engineers" :

Just what we needed - startups promising to swap our heads like Lego pieces, but can't deliver until "within a decade." Classic tech vaporware with a side of body horror! They'll probably ship the beta with known bugs like "occasional neck disconnection" and "consciousness randomly migrates to the cloud." Meanwhile, their pitch deck shows a 500% growth projection based entirely on VC partners who want spare bodies for when they burn out their current ones. The finest example of "we were so preoccupied with whether we could, we didn't stop to think if we should" since cryptocurrency-powered toasters.
