Ship Code Not Excuses He Says

Someone left Microsoft because they wouldn't give them a MacBook, then proceeds to write a five-paragraph essay justifying their decision with the classic "Mac makes me more productive" argument. They talk about swapping terminals like a ninja, running Docker natively, and how their laptop sounds like a jet engine (spoiler: that's not the flex they think it is). Then they complain about Microsoft's 20-step auth and locked-down internal tools—valid gripes, honestly. But here's the kicker: after all this rambling about productivity and tooling preferences, they end with "Ship code, not excuses." Brother just shipped a whole manifesto instead of code. The irony is so thick you could deploy it to production. If you need a specific OS to be productive, you're not as productive as you think. Real devs ship code on a potato if they have to.

So you're telling me the founder got kicked out of their own company for "slowing everyone down" after replacing the entire C-suite with Claude AI? The irony is chef's kiss. CEO Claude, CTO Claude, CFO Claude, COO Claude, CIO Claude, CMO Claude—it's like that Spider-Man pointing meme but with more existential dread and better code completion. At least when the AI overlords take over, they'll have excellent meeting notes and won't need HR to mediate conflicts. Plot twist: Claude probably wrote the termination letter too. Maximum efficiency achieved. 🎯

Year

So everyone's screaming about JavaScript being terrible, but then you look at how developers actually get the current year in production code. Instead of just using new Date().getFullYear() , some genius decided to hardcode "2025" wrapped in a beautiful mess of <footer><small> tags that don't even close properly. The closing </small> is chilling AFTER the text instead of wrapping it correctly. Maybe JavaScript isn't the problem. Maybe it's the developers who refuse to use it correctly. This footer will be hilariously outdated in about 365 days, and some poor soul will have to manually update it while the rest of the internet just... uses a date function like normal people. The real kicker? They're complaining about hardcoded YEARS while literally hardcoding a year. Chef's kiss. 💋👌

Ultimate Betrayal

Someone just nuked an entire FAQ section from Firefox's codebase—specifically the one where they pinky-promised to never sell your personal data and protect you from advertisers. You know, that whole "That's a promise" bit that made Firefox the good guy in the browser wars. The diff shows -8 lines of pure idealism being deleted. No additions. Just... gone. Like deleting your principles from version control because, well, business is business. The irony is chef's kiss—removing the promise about protecting privacy in a commit that's now permanently documented in git history. Nothing says "we changed our minds about that whole privacy thing" quite like yeeting it from the source code. The real kicker? This is in the Firefox repo itself. The browser that built its entire brand on NOT being Chrome just casually deleting their privacy manifesto. At least they're honest about it... in the most passive-aggressive way possible.

Nothing screams "legacy codebase" quite like a footer that still says "© 2022" in the year 2025. The irony here is beautiful: a product claiming to solve the problem of outdated copyright years... while displaying an outdated copyright year in its own footer. It's like a fitness app with a broken step counter or a spell-checker with typos in its marketing. The real kicker? They're marketing this as "Product of the day 46th" while simultaneously proving they need their own product. Either they haven't launched yet, or they're running the most meta marketing campaign in history. Pro tip: if you're selling a solution to automatically update copyright years, maybe start by using it on your own site. Just a thought.

The beautiful irony of our times: programmers clutching their pearls over AI generating sprites and icons, while artists are out here speedrunning Python tutorials to automate their workflows. Turns out everyone just wants to skip the part they're bad at. Programmers can't draw stick figures to save their lives, and artists would rather learn regex than manually process 10,000 files. It's like watching two people swap problems and both thinking they got the better deal.

Management really thought they had a galaxy brain moment forcing devs to use AI tools. "Let's make them more productive by having ChatGPT write their code!" they said. Devs were like "yeah sure whatever" and went back to sleep. Plot twist: turns out AI is actually pretty good at generating status reports, attending meetings, writing performance reviews, and crafting those passive-aggressive Slack messages that middle management specializes in. Suddenly everyone's awake because the productivity "improvement" is about to hit a bit different than expected. The irony is chef's kiss – companies trying to automate the workers ended up creating a tool that's better at automating the people who made that decision. Maybe that's the real productivity boost we needed all along.

Nvidia out here playing 4D chess: invest billions into AI, watch AI models consume ungodly amounts of RAM to load those massive parameters, then realize you need more RAM to feed your GPUs. It's the perfect business model—create the demand, then scramble to supply it yourself. The AI boom turned into a RAM shortage so fast that even Nvidia's looking around like "wait, where'd all the memory go?" Fun fact: Modern large language models can require hundreds of gigabytes of VRAM just to run inference. When you're training? Better start measuring in terabytes. Nvidia basically funded their own supply chain crisis.

Rob Pike, co-creator of Go and Unix legend, goes full nuclear on humanity for destroying the planet... but then receives a wholesome Christmas email from Claude AI thanking him for his contributions to computing (Go, Plan 9, UTF-8, Unix innovations). His rage meter instantly resets to zero. The irony? He's furious about "toxic, unrecyclable equipment" and AI's environmental impact, yet gets immediately disarmed by an AI being polite. It's like yelling at clouds and then one cloud sends you a thank-you card. The dude literally can't remember being this angry, which means Claude's politeness algorithm just achieved what no human could: making Rob Pike chill out. Also, Claude calling him "Dr. Pike" and praising his "philosophy of powerful, minimal design" is peak AI brown-nosing. It's basically the digital equivalent of a golden retriever wagging its tail at someone who just yelled at it.

The ouroboros of tech: building AI tools to automate ourselves out of existence. Nothing says "job security" quite like enthusiastically coding your own replacement. The snake eating its tail is literally the perfect metaphor here—we're so obsessed with automation and efficiency that we've circled back to creating the very thing that'll make us obsolete. The real kicker? We're doing it with a smile, calling it "innovation" and "disruption" while polishing our resumes in incognito mode. At least when the AI overlords take over, they'll remember we were the ones who built them with love, Stack Overflow answers, and way too much coffee.

Well, Apparently This Guy Is A Very Bad Programmer

The classic tale of telling someone to "learn to code" when their industry collapses, only to have it spectacularly backfire a decade later. In 2014, some smug tech bro sees a factory worker lamenting their shutdown plant and suggests coding as the magical solution to all life's problems. Fast forward to 2024, and that same person is having an absolute meltdown because AI just automated away their programming job. The irony is *chef's kiss*. The real kicker? The factory worker pivoted to welding and is now probably making bank while our former programmer is spiraling. Turns out physical trades that require hands-on skills are way harder to automate than pushing pixels around. Who would've thought that condescending career advice would age like milk in the sun?

So someone's touring DuckDuckGo's supposedly Fort Knox-level data center with "24/7/365 surveillance, direct access control and robust perimeter security" when a literal duck just casually waddles through the server floor. You know, the privacy-focused search engine that uses a duck as their mascot? The irony is chef's kiss. The gap between enterprise security theater and reality has never been more perfectly captured. All those fancy buzzwords about surveillance and access control, and nature just said "nah" and sent in a feathered infiltrator. The person's reaction is pure gold – the panic mixed with the realization that they're witnessing something absolutely legendary. Somewhere, a security engineer is updating their incident report: "Unauthorized waterfowl breach detected. Existing protocols ineffective against avian threats. Recommend breadcrumb-based deterrent system."
