No Wonder Software Engineers Are Better Vibecoders Than Anyone

Ah yes, the tea bag floating on top instead of steeping properly—exactly how features work without documentation. Developer thinks it's "common sense" that you're supposed to remove the staple and dunk the bag. User just plops the whole thing in and wonders why their experience tastes like disappointment and metal. Six months later, the same developer will stare at their own code wondering what dark magic they were attempting.

The evolution of a C++ developer's brain when solving a simple problem. First, nested loops like a normal person. Second, condensed one-liners because who needs readability? Third, string manipulation because why not overcomplicate things? And finally, recursive lambda functions with variadic templates because you hate your code reviewers and future self. C++ doesn't just give you enough rope to hang yourself—it gives you an entire hardware store worth of options to do it with style.

The four horsemen of debugging in 2023: despair, hope, rage, and ultimate betrayal. Nothing quite matches the emotional rollercoaster of finding a StackOverflow post that perfectly matches your obscure error, getting excited by the 47 replies, only to discover the original poster smugly declared "fixed it" without sharing how. This is why programmers have trust issues. The "ChatGPT against the world" title is spot on - at least the AI pretends to explain its solutions, even when it's hallucinating them.

The desperate plea of every developer trying to get a straight answer from an AI. That moment when you've spent 3 hours crafting the perfect prompt, only to receive a hallucinated API response that would make a JSON validator commit seppuku. The modern equivalent of "I'll do your homework if you just show me how to solve this one problem." Except now your mortgage payment depends on getting valid data without a single curly brace out of place.
