Yeah Sure Buddy

The glorious devolution of programmers in one perfect meme! Back in the day, developers were apparently coding demigods who wrote flawless code without AI assistance, built entire games in Assembly (because apparently pain was recreational), crafted mission-critical code for literal rocket science, and fixed memory leaks by manipulating pointers like digital surgeons. Fast forward to today's reality: we're all just brain-melted zombies Googling how to center divs, begging ChatGPT to fix our syntax errors, getting permanently trapped in Vim like it's some kind of developer purgatory, and introducing three new bugs while fixing one. The perfect representation of how we've gone from programming titans to helpless tech gremlins dependent on Stack Overflow life support. The most painful part? This is exactly the kind of self-deprecating humor we all share on LinkedIn while pretending we're still the "Devs Then" in our job applications.

When you ask two AI models the same basic math question and get completely opposite answers. Deepseek correctly identifies that 9.9 > 9.11 (treating them as decimals), while ChatGPT somehow thinks 9.11 > 9.9. This is why we still have jobs. For now. Nothing says "trust me with your critical systems" like failing elementary school math. Somewhere, a software engineer is using this screenshot in their slide deck titled "Why Human QA Still Matters".

While GPT and Claude are having their epic AI showdown with fancy marketing and billion-dollar budgets, kernel developers are just sitting there like a confused cat in the snow wondering what all the fuss is about. They've been quietly building the actual foundations that make computers work for decades without the spotlight. It's like watching two celebrities fight over who has the best makeup while the person who built the entire stage is just... standing there... in the cold... questioning their life choices. 😂

When the job posting says "Junior Developer - 0-2 years experience" but also requires "Expert in 17 frameworks, machine learning, quantum computing, and ability to debug code by smell alone." That's how we end up with this 55-year-old "junior" looking like he's seen some shit. By 2025, entry-level positions will require you to have invented time travel just to acquire the necessary experience. The name tag is just the cherry on top - "AI Technician" because apparently, that's what we're calling "copy-pasting from Stack Overflow with extra steps" these days.

Ah, the modern programmer's greatest alibi. "My model's thinking" has replaced "code's compiling" as the perfect excuse to stare blankly at nothing while your manager hovers nearby. The beauty is in the plausible deniability. Your LLM could be solving world hunger or generating cat pictures—nobody knows! And that 20-minute "thinking" phase? Could be processing terabytes of data or just stuck in an infinite loop. Either way, you're off the hook. Ten years in the industry and I've seen the excuses evolve from "the build's running" to "Docker's updating" to this masterpiece. Progress!

Ah yes, the classic "medicine bottle labeled as ChatGPT" with a terrified new programmer staring at it. Remember when we had to actually learn how to code? Now junior devs just ask ChatGPT "write me a React component that fetches data and handles errors" and boom—instant senior developer! Back in my day, we debugged with print statements and cried ourselves to sleep reading documentation. The future is here, and it's making all those hours I spent memorizing syntax feel like a complete waste of time.
