We Are Safe
The eternal job security of software developers, guaranteed not by our skills but by our clients' complete inability to articulate requirements. "Make it pop," "I'll know it when I see it," and "can you just make it more... you know?" are our shields against the AI apocalypse. While AI can write flawless code, it still needs someone to translate "the button should be more clickable" into actual specifications. So yeah, our jobs are protected by the same chaos that's been driving us insane for decades. Beautiful, really.

Can A Robot Take Your Job?
The existential crisis every developer faces when AI enters the chat. We spend decades perfecting the art of turning vague client requirements into functional code, only for some robot to ask if we can even do our jobs anymore. That moment of self-reflection hits hard because we all know the truth – half our job is deciphering what "make it pop" actually means while the other half is Googling syntax we've forgotten for the fifth time this week. Meanwhile, ChatGPT is sitting there smugly generating entire codebases from prompts like "website but pretty pls." The audacity.

The Dark Truth Behind Every Impossible Deadline
Ah, the classic "nine women can't make a baby in one month" software development metaphor just got a brutal upgrade. What starts as a lesson about how some tasks can't be parallelized quickly descends into the actual nightmare of project management reality : • Half your "resources" aren't even qualified for the job • Your deadline was a fantasy from the start • The client doesn't actually need what they asked for, but instead wants something completely different that the PM thought would be "easier" It's not just Brooks' Law anymore—it's corporate absurdity distilled into three bullet points of pure developer trauma.

Just Tell Me What I Need To Know
The harsh interrogation lights are on, but the client's requirements remain in the shadows. You're basically waterboarding them with questions while they respond with "I just want something simple" and "You're the expert, figure it out." Meanwhile, the project deadline is tomorrow, the budget is whatever coins they found in their couch, and somehow you're supposed to build the next Facebook but "keep it minimal." The worst part? When it's all over, they'll look at your work and say "That's not what I had in mind at all."

Oh, the eternal job security of dealing with clients who say they want a "simple website" but actually mean "Facebook but better" with a budget of $200. The AI apocalypse might be coming for some jobs, but programmers can sleep soundly knowing that no robot will ever decipher "make it pop" or "I'll know what I want when I see it." Our superpower isn't coding—it's somehow building functional software from requirements that change faster than JavaScript frameworks.
