Yes

Whether your spaghetti code was crafted by human hands or generated by the latest AI model, it all leads to the same destination: Terrible Code Highway . The cow staring at both paths represents that poor junior dev who has to maintain the codebase, blissfully unaware that no matter which path they choose, they'll still be debugging someone else's mess until 2AM. The real engineering skill is pretending you have a choice in the matter.

The asylum of programming sins is now accepting new patients! Left to right, we have the poor soul who thought regex was a sensible XML parsing solution (narrator: it wasn't), the delusional dev who reinvented the wheel with a custom date/time library (because clearly, humanity hasn't solved that problem in the last 50 years), and finally—the pièce de résistance—the screaming maniac who blindly copy-pasted AI-generated "fixes" straight into production. The padded walls of this code asylum are the only things keeping these developers from harming themselves or others with more terrible technical decisions.

The evolution of professional ethics in the digital age is... something else. Designers freak out when AI scrapes their artwork: "NO! THIS IS ILLEGAL!" Meanwhile, programmers hear that ChatGPT pillaged their GitHub repos and their first question is "Did it actually compile though?" Nothing captures the programmer mindset better than skipping past the copyright violation and jumping straight to "but does it work?" Because let's be honest - if ChatGPT can make sense of your spaghetti code, you might as well hire it.

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.

The evolution of "idea people" is too real! Back in the day, non-technical folks with "million dollar ideas" would beg programmers to build their app for free or equity. Now these same people skip straight to AI tools like Figma and no-code platforms, thinking they're self-sufficient until they hit that inevitable technical landmine. Meanwhile, the programmer continues peacefully napping, completely unbothered by the explosion. The sweet karma of technical debt will always find you!

The tech industry's selective standards are painfully real. They'll reject a fresh grad for not implementing some theoretical O(n) algorithm they'll never use again, but will happily throw billions at AI models running on brute-force compute that would make any algorithm professor have an existential crisis. For those who don't know, O(n) refers to linear time complexity - basically how efficiently an algorithm scales. Companies obsess over this in interviews then proceed to ignore efficiency completely when it comes to their shiny new toys. Next time you're rejected for not optimizing a binary tree traversal fast enough, just remember - somewhere a data center is melting the polar ice caps to generate a cat picture.
