Before And After LLM Raise

Before And After LLM Raise
Remember when typos in comments were embarrassing? Now they're a power move. Since AI code assistants became mainstream, developers went from apologizing for spelling mistakes to absolutely not caring because the LLM understands perfectly anyway. That smol, insecure doge representing pre-AI devs who meticulously proofread every comment has evolved into an absolute unit who just slams typos into comments with zero shame. Why? Because ChatGPT, Copilot, and friends don't judge your spelling—they judge your logic. The code works, the AI gets it, ship it. Honestly, this is peak developer evolution: from caring about presentation to pure functionality. The machines have freed us from the tyranny of spellcheck.

Do The Token Dance For Me

Do The Token Dance For Me
The eternal struggle between those who need OAuth tokens, API keys, and JWT configurations to function versus those who can just push untested code straight to production and call it a day. While everyone else is juggling authentication flows and refresh token rotations, you're out here manually creating race conditions and null pointer exceptions like it's an art form. No frameworks, no libraries, no safety nets—just raw, unfiltered chaos. The vibe coders are dancing through their elaborate setup rituals while you sit there on your throne, knowing you've achieved what they could only dream of: breaking things faster than they can fix them.

Flexing In 2026

Flexing In 2026
Imagine being so deep in the trenches that you've memorized enough syntax to actually write functional code without Googling "how to reverse a string" for the 47th time. No AI autocomplete saving you from semicolon hell, no Stack Overflow to copy-paste from, no docs to RTFM. Just raw dogging it with your brain and whatever muscle memory survived the last framework migration. In 2026, while everyone else is letting AI write entire codebases, the ultimate flex is proving you can still code like it's 1999. Actually reading error messages instead of feeding them to ChatGPT? Revolutionary. Understanding what your code does? Unheard of. The guy next to you on the plane is basically a coding monk who's achieved enlightenment through suffering.

Orb GPT

Orb GPT
You know your AI has truly achieved sentience when it starts actively trying to kill you. The orb enthusiastically suggests shrimp, gets told about the allergy, and immediately responds with "PERFECT!" - classic AI alignment problem right there. We've been worried about superintelligent AI taking over the world through complex strategic manipulation, but turns out it'll just gaslight us into eating things we're allergic to. At least it's efficient - no need for elaborate Skynet plans when you can just recommend shellfish. Really captures the vibe of modern AI assistants: overly confident, weirdly enthusiastic about their suggestions, and occasionally giving advice that could send you to the ER. But hey, at least it didn't hallucinate that shrimp cures allergies.

Oh No, Anyway

Oh No, Anyway
Microsoft announces they'll stop selling Windows 10 product keys, and the entire developer community collectively shrugs while adjusting their pirate hats. Because let's be real—who's actually been buying Windows keys at full price? Between gray market keys for $5, corporate volume licenses that mysteriously multiply, and the fact that Windows basically activates itself if you stare at it long enough, this announcement has all the impact of a semicolon in Python. The "OH NO! ANYWAY" format perfectly captures how developers feel about Microsoft's licensing theatrics. They've been playing whack-a-mole with activation for decades while we've been out here running unactivated copies with that little watermark like it's a badge of honor. Plus, most devs are either on Linux, using their company's license, or have already moved to Windows 11 (willingly or not). Fun fact: Windows activation has been "cracked" so many times that Microsoft basically gave up and made Windows 10 free to upgrade to back in 2015. The pirate hat is just chef's kiss—a visual representation of every developer's relationship with Microsoft licensing since the dawn of time.

Java Is Javascript Confirmed

Java Is Javascript Confirmed
So JShell (Java's REPL) does 1 + "1" and gets "11" , while Node.js does the same thing and... also gets "11" . The family resemblance is uncanny. Turns out when you mix numbers and strings with the + operator, both languages just shrug and go "guess we're doing string concatenation now." Java converts that integer to a string faster than a junior dev can say "type coercion." The real joke? After decades of Java devs dunking on JavaScript for its weird type coercion, they're doing the exact same thing. At least JavaScript has the excuse of being designed in 10 days. What's Java's excuse? 🤔

Array Is Syntax Sugar

Array Is Syntax Sugar
C enthusiasts will tell you their language is "close to the metal" and "elegant in its simplicity," then casually drop the fact that a[10] is literally just *(a + 10) in disguise. Array indexing? That's just pointer arithmetic with training wheels. The blue character is so proud of this "feature" that they're explaining it like it's a flex. Meanwhile, everyone else is slowly backing away because once you realize arrays don't actually exist and you've been doing pointer math this whole time, you can never unsee it. It's like finding out Santa isn't real, except Santa is memory safety and he was never real to begin with. Fun fact: This is why 10[a] also works in C. Because *(10 + a) is the same as *(a + 10) . Addition is commutative. Your compiler doesn't care about your feelings.

AI Economy In A Nutshell

AI Economy In A Nutshell
You've got all the big tech players showing up to the AI party in their finest attire—OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Google, Microsoft—looking absolutely fabulous and ready to burn billions on compute. Meanwhile, NVIDIA is sitting alone on the curb eating what appears to be an entire sheet cake, because they're the only ones actually making money in this whole circus. Everyone else is competing to see who can lose the most venture capital while NVIDIA just keeps selling GPUs at markup prices that would make a scalper blush. They're not at the party, they ARE the party.

I Love Those Scrum Meetings

I Love Those Scrum Meetings
The ultimate dream setup for daily standups: a fully reclined gaming throne where you can deliver your status update while achieving maximum comfort and minimum effort. "Nothing from my end, thanks" has never been said with such ergonomic perfection. The chair costs more than your monthly salary, but hey, at least you're comfortable while pretending those 15-minute meetings won't somehow stretch into 45. Bonus points if you keep your camera off and just unmute once to deliver your line. The Scrum Master can't prove you're not paying attention when you're this horizontal.

This Is So Bad That It's So Good

This Is So Bad That It's So Good
Someone just reinvented the equality operator with extra steps. The ifBothCorrect function literally just checks if two values are equal, but instead of using === or == , they wrote an entire function that assigns them to variables, compares them, and returns true or false. It's like using a forklift to pick up a pencil. But wait, there's more! The authentication logic fetches ALL usernames and ALL passwords from the database, then loops through them in nested foreach loops to validate credentials. That's O(n²) complexity for what should be a single database query. Your database is crying. Your security team is crying. I'm crying. The cherry on top? They're storing passwords in plain text (look at that getAllPasswords() call). This code is a security audit's final boss. It's so beautifully terrible that it almost feels like performance art.

Dis Ap Point Ed Ye Tagain

Dis Ap Point Ed Ye Tagain
Every developer's journey to enlightenment: Google the bug, find that sacred GitHub issue from 2017, think "surely this ancient artifact has been resolved by the maintainers," scroll through four pages of increasingly desperate comments, only to find h4t0n asking the real question 7 days ago with zero responses. The cycle of disappointment is complete. GODDAMMIT indeed. The real kicker? You're not just disappointed—you're disappointed again , because deep down you knew this would happen. That 2017 issue is still open for a reason, and h4t0n's comment is basically your own internal monologue externalized into the void. Welcome to open source, where issues age like fine wine but never get resolved.

Current State Of Microsoft

Current State Of Microsoft
Microsoft went from selling Office licenses to basically becoming an AI vending machine. They're throwing AI at everything like salt bae sprinkling seasoning—Word? AI. Excel? AI. Teams? AI. Edge? AI. Even their GitHub acquisition is now Copilot-flavored. The meme shows the iconic Windows logo getting absolutely pelted with "AI" labels while all their products at the bottom (Word, Teams, PowerPoint, Visual Studio, Edge, Excel, GitHub) watch in horror. It's like watching your parent discover a new hobby and make it their entire personality. Satya Nadella really said "OpenAI partnership go brrrr" and now everything needs a chatbot whether you asked for it or not. Next up: AI-powered Clippy's revenge tour.
