Promptsitutes: The New Bottom Of The Dev Food Chain

2 days ago 119.6K views 0 shares

The AI revolution has birthed a savage new tech insult: promptsitutes – developers who just copy-paste prompts instead of writing actual code. In the new hierarchy of developer shame, JavaScript devs (traditionally the butt of programming jokes) have been promoted above these AI-prompt jockeys. Meanwhile, the second commenter is gleefully adopting the term like they just found free pizza at a hackathon. The dev ecosystem's pecking order just got a whole new bottom rung!

The Grand Chess Master Of Stack Overflow

Ah, the classic StackOverflow experience – where asking "How do I center a div?" gets you a lecture on the history of CSS box models and why your career choice is fundamentally flawed. The red background perfectly captures that power trip rush when someone with 200k reputation points descends from their throne to explain why your "trivial" question is actually destroying the fabric of programming society. Meanwhile, they're mentally positioning their chess pieces to checkmate your dignity. Just another day in developer paradise!

Rust Evangelism Vs. Old School Pride

Rust C++ Programming

12 days ago 161.3K views 0 shares

Ah, the classic Rust evangelism standoff! Someone dared to mention Rust's compiler prevents bugs, and our hero swooped in with the programming equivalent of "I studied the blade while you studied the compiler." The Rust community has gained a reputation for being the CrossFit enthusiasts of programming—they'll tell you about memory safety before you even finish saying "Hello World." Meanwhile, grizzled veterans clutch their segmentation faults like precious heirlooms, insisting their decades of experience are superior to any compiler guardrails. It's the eternal struggle between "I've been coding C for 20 years and never had a buffer overflow" guy versus "have you heard the good news about our lord and savior, the borrow checker?" crowd.

Can We Please Stop The Bullying

The brutal truth nobody asked for but everyone needed to hear. When you assign blame for that spaghetti code disaster to the innocent intern who just started last week, you're not being clever—you're just being a jerk with commit access. Nothing says "I'm professionally insecure" quite like making someone else the scapegoat for your 3 AM caffeine-fueled coding abomination. The git blame command exists for justice, not for your workplace pranks.

The Usual Suspects

Found the programmer who doesn't have friends arguing about Rust's memory safety at 2 AM! Look, if your Discord isn't blowing up with heated debates about why TypeScript is JavaScript's responsible older sibling, are you even in tech? The real programming career milestone isn't your first job—it's when you realize your social circle's value is directly proportional to how passionately they can trash talk Python's GIL while simultaneously defending PHP as the misunderstood genius of web development. Remember kids: friendships are temporary, but language wars are forever. Your NETWORK is your NET WORTH... especially when you need someone to debug your code at midnight.

What If Companies Do So Much With TS/JS To Save Compile Time Coffee Breaks?!

The eternal battle between compilation time and coffee breaks! While we're all busy pretending to wait for C++ to compile so we can scroll Reddit, TypeScript/JavaScript devs are out here ruining the sacred tradition with their interpreted languages. The conspiracy board in the background perfectly represents the chaotic thought process of someone trying to justify why their build still needs 20 minutes in 2023. "But optimization takes time!" Yeah, and so does my third coffee, thank you very much.

You Have That Power

Ever notice how we've mastered creating 748 different to-do list apps but still haven't figured out flying cars? The tech industry in a nutshell—spending countless hours building yet another CRUD app with authentication while our sci-fi dreams collect dust. Meanwhile, bootcamp grads are busy creating weather apps that tell you it's raining... while you're standing in the rain. The real innovation bottleneck isn't technology—it's developers padding their GitHub profiles with projects nobody asked for instead of building the jetpacks we were promised. Maybe if we redirected the collective brainpower spent on "Uber for dogs" startups, we'd actually have those self-tying shoes from Back to the Future by now.

Yes I Vibe Code

Left panel: Just innocently using "vibe" to describe that sweet mental state where the code flows through your fingers like butter through a hot knife. Right panel: Suddenly realizing everyone thinks you're just copying AI responses because "vibe coding" has become internet slang for "I asked ChatGPT to write this for me." The flow state and AI accusations - two sides of the same monkey.

Real Impact Not Just Views

When your GitHub contributions actually change the world but your YouTube dance videos get all the fame. The knight with 500 GitHub followers stands tall and majestic—a true warrior of code who's probably fixed critical bugs in Linux kernels and contributed to libraries used by millions. Meanwhile, the tiny figure with 2 million YouTube subscribers is just showing off their "Hello World" tutorial with clickbait thumbnails. Real devs know where the true power lies. Quality over quantity, folks!

We Are Professional Here

The sinister grin of a Java developer declaring private long penis; in their codebase. It's that moment of juvenile rebellion hidden within professional-looking code that somehow passes code review because technically it follows naming conventions. The variable might store the timestamp from 1970, but that's not why they're smiling. The duality of being a sophisticated software engineer while simultaneously having the humor of a 12-year-old is peak developer culture.

That moment when your code review turns into an interrogation session. "I see you've implemented this feature without documentation... interesting . Now, before I approve your PR, tell me what you thought about that React conference keynote? Didn't catch it? What a shame. Looks like this merge might take a while..." The dark side of open source maintainers that GitHub doesn't want you to see.

The Two Types Of Tech Influencers

The eternal tech podcast dichotomy: hardcore engineer who lives in Vim vs. the polished host who hasn't touched code since jQuery was cool. Left side: Actually writes software that powers what you're watching on. Right side: Talks about software while secretly wondering if anyone will notice they forgot what a for-loop does. My favorite part? "Ran Doom on SMS Chipotle receipt" vs "1 peer-reviewed paper (removed by MIT)" is basically the two career paths available to CS graduates. The real punchline is we all know which one makes more money talking about programming than actually programming...
