Coding assistants Memes

The ghost of Stack Overflow past returns with a new disguise! Those AI coding assistants promising to revolutionize programming are just our old friend "unhelpful help" wearing a fancy sheet. You unmask it to reveal the same frustrating experience we've always had - intrusive popups asking if you need help writing a letter when you're clearly in the middle of debugging a critical production issue. The "Don't show me this tip again" checkbox might as well be connected to /dev/null for all the good it does. The more things change, the more they stay infuriatingly the same.

OH. MY. GOD. The BRUTAL truth about our toxic relationship with AI coding assistants! 💅 We're literally gambling our productivity away with these AI slot machines! Type a vague prompt, hit "Generate" and PRAY TO THE CODING GODS that you'll get something that doesn't make your compiler have an existential crisis! "Just one more prompt, I swear this will fix it!" - me, 47 prompts later, sobbing into my energy drink while my deadline approaches at the speed of light. Meanwhile, OpenAI is cackling all the way to the bank! The absolute AUDACITY of spending 3 hours prompting for something that would take 20 minutes to code yourself. But here we are, calling ourselves "prompt engineers" like we've invented a new profession instead of admitting we're just gambling addicts in developer hoodies! 💁‍♀️
