Are We There Yet

1 day ago 219.2K views 1 shares

So Anthropic's CEO thinks we'll hit peak AI code generation by 2026, but someone's already done the math on what comes after the hype cycle. Turns out when AI writes 100% of the code, we'll need humans again—not to write code, but to decipher whatever eldritch horror the models have conjured up. Senior engineers will become glorified janitors with 10x salaries, which honestly sounds about right given how much we already get paid to fix other people's code. The future is just the present with extra steps and better excuses for technical debt.

When Even The Father Of C Plus Plus Is Not Sure Anymore

The evolution of developer laziness in one picture. 2020 devs manually checking every single number like they're counting on their fingers, while 2026 devs just outsource basic math to AI because why bother remembering if numbers are odd or even? The best part? Even Bjarne Stroustrup himself—the literal creator of C++—looked at this and went "Tell me: this is a joke?" Imagine building an entire programming language only to watch future developers ask ChatGPT whether 5 is odd. The man gave us templates, RAII, and the STL, and we repaid him by forgetting modulo operators exist. To be fair, the 2026 approach probably has better error handling than the 2020 version. At least until OpenAI decides that 7 is "spiritually even" or something.

Keeping Directory Balanced

Python Programming Testing

18 hours ago 227.5K views 0 shares

Someone built a Python CLI tool that does exactly what Thanos would do to your filesystem - snap away half your files randomly. Because nothing says "perfectly balanced" like gambling with your project files and hoping it doesn't delete anything important. The tool even has 91% test coverage, which means there's a 9% chance it might delete the tests themselves. Beautiful chaos wrapped in a Marvel reference. The real power move here is having the confidence to run a tool that literally says "I will randomly delete half your stuff" and trusting those green CI badges. At least it's well-tested destruction, right?

Do You Have Time For A Quick Call

Programming Agile

You know you've leveled up in your career when you realize your calendar has become your worst enemy. Senior dev walks in all confident like "I'm a grown man, I'm a senior developer, I can handle a quick call" - then opens their laptop to discover they've been double-booked into meeting hell. That calendar is absolutely bleeding red with back-to-back meetings. Sprint planning, retrospectives, stand-ups, architecture reviews, stakeholder syncs, "quick" calls that are never quick, and probably three meetings that could've been a Slack message. The best part? The tiny note at the bottom: "*MEETINGS SCHEDULED ALL THE TIME" - like some kind of dystopian disclaimer. The progression from confident senior dev to crying mess is *chef's kiss*. Turns out being senior means less coding and more explaining why things take time to people who think development is just typing really fast. Welcome to the dark side, where your IDE collects dust and your Zoom background is more familiar than your own bedroom.

Watch This Ad To Continue Vibin

Javascript Webdev Programming Frontend Backend

Oh, the absolute HORROR of our dystopian future! Picture it: 2030, you're just trying to vibe and code in peace, maybe install a simple package, and suddenly you're trapped in an endless hellscape of unskippable advertisements. Want to run npm install ? Sure thing, buddy—just watch these 10 ads first! Need that dependency? Better grab some popcorn because you're about to get the full cinematic experience of car insurance commercials and mobile game ads. The way we're heading with everything becoming ad-supported and monetized, it's only a matter of time before even our beloved package managers start pulling this nonsense. "Your free trial of JavaScript has expired. Please watch this 30-second ad to access semicolons." The exhausted, dead-inside expression? That's not just tiredness—that's the soul-crushing realization that capitalism has finally invaded your terminal window. RIP peaceful coding sessions.

When Someone Shares A Social Media Link

You know that friend who sends you a YouTube link that's basically a novel? Yeah, those URLs with ?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=spring2024&fbclid=IwAR2x... going on for three miles. Every single one of those parameters is tracking where you came from, what you clicked, and probably what you had for breakfast. The privacy-conscious dev in you wants to strip all that surveillance garbage before you click, but then you realize you'd need to explain UTM parameters to your non-tech friends and suddenly you're the paranoid guy at the party. Just smile, nod, and mentally note that Facebook now knows you two are connected. Again. Pro tip: Everything after the ? is usually tracking. You're welcome.

This Private Key Seems Legit

Someone just casually posted their "private key" wrapped in those fancy BEGIN/END markers like it's a legitimate cryptographic credential, except it's literally a Lady Gaga tweet that's just keyboard-smashing gibberish with some exclamation points thrown in for dramatic effect. Because nothing says "secure encryption" quite like AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHRHRGRGRGRRRGURB, right? The beauty here is that private keys are supposed to be these sacred, ultra-secret strings that you NEVER EVER share with anyone or your entire digital life crumbles into dust. But sure, let's just tweet it out to thousands of followers with proper PEM formatting and call it a day. Security experts everywhere just felt a disturbance in the force. The random Lady Gaga tweet being used as the "key" is *chef's kiss* because it's the perfect blend of chaos and structure—just like production code at 2 AM.

You Are The Hacker

Nothing screams "elite hacker" quite like running htop in a terminal. To your grandma, you're basically Neo from The Matrix. To your non-tech friends, you've just activated the nuclear launch codes. The reality? You're just checking if Chrome is eating all your RAM again (spoiler: it is). But try explaining that you're not breaking into the Pentagon while you're literally just looking at process IDs and CPU usage. They've already decided you're in.

Stop Doing DNS

Someone finally said it. DNS is apparently a scam perpetuated by Big Nameserver to sell more resolvers. Servers were perfectly happy being identified by raw IP addresses until sysadmins got greedy and demanded "respect" in the form of complex distributed systems that nobody understands. The argument here is that we had hosts.txt—a single file that every computer could use to map names to IPs. Simple. Elegant. Completely unscalable. But who needs the internet to grow anyway? Instead, sysadmins convinced everyone we needed this elaborate DNS infrastructure with recursive queries, authoritative nameservers, TTLs, and zone files. Now when someone asks for example.com, you get a 17-step journey through multiple servers just to return an IP address. They've been laughing at us this whole time while we troubleshoot NXDOMAIN errors at 3 AM. The three diagrams with increasing question marks perfectly sum up every developer's understanding of DNS: "I think I get it... wait, what?... I have no idea what's happening anymore."

Fake It Until Always

Frontend devs: peacefully lifting their beautiful, well-styled baby in a sunny meadow while birds chirp and flowers bloom. Backend devs: desperately holding up the entire apocalyptic infrastructure while chaos erupts, buildings crumble, and demons spawn from the database connections. That baby? Yeah, it's trying to escape too. The frontend looks pristine because someone's gotta maintain the illusion that everything's fine. Meanwhile, the backend is out here juggling authentication failures, race conditions, memory leaks, and that one microservice that keeps timing out at 3 AM. But hey, as long as the button has a nice gradient and smooth hover animation, users will never know the backend is held together with duct tape and prayers. Fun fact: The average backend developer has memorized at least 47 different HTTP status codes and still somehow returns 500 for everything.

Bro You Used MIT

Git Webdev Programming

The MIT license literally says "do whatever you want with this code, I don't care." It's the most permissive open-source license out there—you can use it, modify it, sell it, tattoo it on your forehead, whatever. So when a dev slaps MIT on their repo and then has a meltdown on Twitter because someone actually *used* their code, it's like putting up a "FREE PIZZA" sign and then crying when people eat the pizza. The cat's bewildered stance perfectly captures the rest of us watching this drama unfold, wondering if they've ever actually read the license they chose. Pro tip: if you don't want people using your code, maybe don't pick the license that's basically the digital equivalent of "take it, it's yours."

The Solution

When RAM prices are through the roof and your code is leaking memory faster than you can say "memory management," just slap an SD card into your DDR5 slot. Problem solved! Who needs actual RAM when you can have storage pretending to be memory at a fraction of the speed? Sure, your computer will run like it's stuck in molasses, but hey, at least it'll fit "all sizes" from 4GB to 256GB. Nothing screams "quality engineering" quite like a DDR5 stick with an SD card slot on it from AliExpress. Your swap file is gonna have a field day with this one.
