They Are Experts Now
Copy-paste a single fetch() call to OpenAI's API with someone else's prompt template? Congratulations, you're now an "AI expert" with a LinkedIn bio update pending. The bar for AI expertise has never been lower. Literally just wrapping GPT-4 in an API call and stringifying some JSON makes you qualified to speak at conferences apparently. No understanding of embeddings, fine-tuning, or even basic prompt engineering required—just req.query.prompt straight into the model like we're playing Mad Libs with a $200 billion neural network. The "Is this a pigeon?" energy is strong here. Slap "AI-powered" on your resume and watch the recruiter messages roll in.

Dynamic Year Fix
The classic "manually update copyright year" panic has finally been defeated! Instead of sweating bullets every January when you realize all your websites still say "© 2024," this galaxy-brain solution fetches the current year from an API. The weak doge is the traditional approach of hardcoding "2024" and crying when you forget to update it. Meanwhile, the buff doge represents the enlightened developer who wrote a fetch request to dynamically pull the current year. The irony? Creating an entire API call with promise chains and JSON parsing just to get a value that's available with new Date().getFullYear() . Talk about bringing a tactical nuke to a knife fight!

Why Is First Block Much Slower
The first block makes 1000 network calls to add numbers. The second just adds them locally. And yet some developers will still ask "why is my code so slow?" while their app makes HTTP requests to add 2+2. It's like driving to the grocery store to use their calculator when you have one on your phone. Sure, both methods get you the sum, but one involves putting on pants.
