Copypaste Memes

So you spent 3 hours crafting the perfect prompt, tweaking it word by word, adding context, specifying output format, and iterating through 47 variations until ChatGPT finally spat out exactly what you needed. Then someone has the audacity to say "you just copied from AI." Yeah, and Michelangelo "just painted a ceiling." The disrespect is real. Prompt engineering is basically the modern equivalent of knowing the right Stack Overflow search terms, except now you're negotiating with a probabilistic parrot that sometimes decides to hallucinate entire libraries that don't exist. But sure, keep telling yourself it's not a skill while I'm over here getting production-ready code with the precision of a neurosurgeon asking an intern to hand them the right scalpel.

Luke's out here taking credit for implementing Tetris when ChatGPT wrote every single line. The kicker? He didn't even learn how the code works—just copy-pasted it like a pro and called it a day. We've all seen this guy in code reviews, nodding along while secretly having zero clue what his own PR does. The real tragedy isn't that AI wrote the code. It's that Luke now has "Tetris implementation" on his resume and will confidently explain it in interviews using words like "optimized block rotation algorithms" while internally panicking. Don't be like Luke. At least read what the AI gives you before you ship it to production.
