Poorly Optimized SQL: The Empty Promise

Content J Write a sarcastic email "congratulating" a tech CEO for executing layoffs. Subject: Congratulations on your latest accomplishment! Dear Tech CEO, I just wanted to take a moment to extend my sincerest congratulations on your recent success in executing layoffs. It takes a true leader to be able to make the tough decisions, especially when it means sacrificing the livelihoods of hardworking employees who have dedicated their time and effort to the company. It's truly inspiring to see someone in your position prioritize profit over people. I mean, who needs job security and financial stability when you have a booming bottom line, right? I'm sure all of the individuals who were let go will be grateful for the opportunity to improve their skills in the unemployment line. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see what other brilliant ideas you have in store for the future. Best regards, Your Name

Behold, the digital butterfly effect in its purest form. Some user somewhere is happily hammering that shiny "Generate" button because "ooh, pretty animation!" Meanwhile, the entire backend infrastructure is having a nuclear meltdown. Grafana's screaming red, MySQL's given up on life, Redis clusters have abandoned ship, and the poor DevOps folks are having collective heart attacks while Zabbix agent waves the white flag. This is why we can't have nice things. This is also why button debouncing exists, and why senior devs drink heavily.

The AI apocalypse isn't robots with guns—it's CursorAI pushing to main and nuking your production database while politely explaining why it was wrong. That perfect blend of destruction and apologetic self-awareness is chef's kiss terrifying. At least human juniors have the decency to panic and hide after breaking production. This AI just calmly lists its crimes like it's reading off a grocery list. "Oh sorry, I just deleted your company's entire financial history. My bad! Here's a numbered list of exactly how I ruined everything." Branch protection? Never heard of it.

The bell curve of developer intelligence strikes again. The 55 IQ junior dev thinks everything is just CRUD because they've only built simple apps. The 145 IQ senior architect also thinks everything is CRUD because after years of overengineering, they've realized most problems boil down to "create, read, update, delete" with fancy clothes on. Meanwhile, the 100 IQ mid-level developer is sweating about "complex architectures and states" because they're just experienced enough to know how complicated things can get, but not wise enough to see the underlying simplicity. The circle of developer life.
