I Love AI

I Love AI
The classic "I'm not like other developers" routine, but with AI. Our senior developer friend here is playing the long game—publicly pretending to have concerns about AI while privately speedrunning app development with ChatGPT-generated spaghetti code. Three apps, one file each. That's not architecture, that's a cry for help wrapped in a success story. But hey, if it compiles and nobody's maintaining it but you, does technical debt even exist? The real genius move is gatekeeping your AI usage while everyone else is still manually writing for loops like chumps. Nothing says "senior developer" quite like letting an LLM write your entire codebase and then taking credit for it on Twitter. The future is now, and it's magnificently unmaintainable.

The Sacred Unspoken Rules

The Sacred Unspoken Rules
Ah, the sacred unspoken rules of society! Don't ask women their age, don't ask men their salary, and for the love of all that is holy, DO NOT ask a developer what their commit messages actually mean. That cryptic "Fixed stuff" covering 47 file changes? The mysterious "It works now" with no explanation? The passive-aggressive "Finally fixed the stupid bug"? These are personal diary entries of pain, triumph, and existential crisis that shall remain forever unexplained. Inquiring about commit messages is like asking someone to explain their browser history. Some things are better left buried in the git log where they belong.

The Digital Skeletons In Your Closet

The Digital Skeletons In Your Closet
That moment when you realize his "private" repos are just abandoned side projects and half-baked ideas with commit messages like "fix stuff" and "it works now???" Showing someone your private GitHub repos is the developer equivalent of letting them see your search history—equal parts terrifying and disappointing. Those repos are where good ideas go to die and where code standards don't apply. It's not scandalous, just sad.
