First dev: "I'll just hardcode every single number from 1 to infinity with its even/odd status. Efficiency!" Second dev: "Why use simple modulo math when you can just outsource your basic arithmetic to a GPT model? That's 500KB of code and a $10 API bill to determine if a number is divisible by 2." The evolution of problem-solving in 2023: from hilariously inefficient to absurdly overcomplicated. Because nothing says "modern software engineering" like turning a one-line function into an enterprise-grade AI solution with cloud dependencies. Next week: "IsPositive() function now requires stable internet connection and cryptocurrency wallet."

In machine learning, everyone's obsessed with fancy neural networks and complex architectures, but here's the brutal truth: garbage data produces garbage results, no matter how sophisticated your model. It's like watching junior devs spend weeks optimizing their algorithm when their dataset is just 30 examples they scraped from a Reddit thread. The pills in the image represent the hard reality that data quality and quantity trump model complexity almost every time. Seasoned data scientists know this pain all too well.

The AUDACITY of machine learning algorithms! Theory: a beautiful, straight line from A to B. Practice: a slightly chaotic but still navigable path. And then there's machine learning—a CATASTROPHIC explosion of lines that somehow, miraculously, eventually connects A to B while having an existential crisis along the way! It's like watching a toddler try to find the bathroom in the dark after drinking a gallon of juice. Sure, it might get there... but at what cost to our sanity?!
