Next Generation Of Developers
Look at this peak coding efficiency! Why bother with basic arithmetic when you can just outsource addition to ChatGPT? Sure, a simple a + b would work, but where's the fun in that? This is what happens when you've got a $20/month ChatGPT subscription and absolutely need to justify it by using it for literally everything—including adding 5 and 3. The irony of burning through tokens and API calls to calculate what a 5-year-old could do on their fingers is just *chef's kiss*. Next up: using DALL-E to generate images of numbers because Math.random() is too mainstream.

Life Is Too Short For Type Gymnastics
GASP! The absolute AUDACITY of someone suggesting JavaScript users are just lazy TypeScript avoiders! 💅 The eternal holy war between "just let me write my code without 47 type declarations" and "excuse me sir, your variable might be a string OR a number and I simply cannot function without knowing which!" The JavaScript rebels living on the edge while TypeScript devotees clutch their strongly-typed pearls in horror. Meanwhile, that smug reply with the smiley face is just *chef's kiss* perfection - like proudly admitting you eat cereal with a fork because spoons are too much work!

Welcome to 2024, where basic arithmetic is now outsourced to AI. Instead of using the + operator like a normal person, this code asks ChatGPT to calculate 5+3. Next week: using GPT-4 to increment a counter variable. The week after: entire codebase is just one API call. Progress.

The Lazy Developer's Guide To Variable Naming
The true chaotic evil of programming: naming variables like you're labeling test tubes in a mad scientist's lab. "What does a1 do?" "No idea, but it breaks production if you change it." Meanwhile, the QA team gets to play detective with zero clues, trying to figure out why everything works perfectly until it suddenly doesn't. The real adventure isn't the code—it's the archaeological dig through someone else's variable naming scheme.

Hiring A Rocket Scientist To Make Toast
Ah yes, the pinnacle of software engineering: using a multi-billion dollar AI model to add 1 + 2. That's like hiring a NASA rocket scientist to operate your toaster. The code imports OpenAI, sets two variables, then asks ChatGPT to perform basic arithmetic that the language could do natively with a simple + operator. Congratulations, you've just made the world's most expensive calculator with the worst possible performance. Next week: using quantum computing to check if a number is odd.

Simulate Loading
The dirty secret of app development: that fancy loading animation? Just Thread.sleep(5000) because the PM insisted on "showing progress." The client thinks we're doing complex calculations while the server's basically taking a nap. Sure, I could optimize the database query, but why bother when I can just shorten the artificial delay and look like a hero at the next sprint review?

The Best Way To Debug
Who has time to READ DOCUMENTATION? Are you KIDDING ME?! Life's too short to understand WHY something broke when you can just carpet bomb your entire codebase with console.log("HERE") , console.log("WHY GOD WHY") , and the ever-eloquent console.log("AAAAAAAHHHHH") ! The sheer ECSTASY when one of your 47 random debug statements finally reveals the problem is practically BETTER THAN CAFFEINE. Documentation is for people with patience and dignity—two things I sacrificed to the coding gods YEARS ago! 💅

The Command Line Archaeologist
Who needs command history when you've got muscle memory and blind hope? Nothing says "professional developer" like frantically hammering the up arrow key while squinting at the terminal, praying you'll recognize that one magical command you typed three hours ago. The alternative is—gasp—writing it down somewhere or creating an alias, but where's the adrenaline rush in that? Terminal archaeology is half the fun of being a command-line warrior.

To Be Fair Importing Logging Can Take Several Minutes
OMG, the absolute HORROR of seeing a Python dev using print() statements instead of proper logging! 😱 It's like watching someone use a butter knife to fix an electrical outlet! Sure, importing that logging module takes a WHOLE EXTRA LINE of code and the UNBEARABLE AGONY of typing 'import logging' instead of just sprinkling print() statements everywhere like confetti at a debug party. But honey, when your production server is on fire at 2AM and you can't find which of your 500 print() statements is relevant, you'll be BEGGING for timestamp and log levels! The walk of shame depicted here is just *chef's kiss* PERFECTION.

The Art Of Implementation
That moment when your senior dev asks you to implement a shrinking algorithm and you decide to just decrement a counter in a loop. The crying cat perfectly captures the pain of code review day when they see your O(n) solution that could've been a simple one-liner. "It technically works" is your only defense as you prepare to rewrite it for the fifth time.

Slapping On A .Expect Is Also Error Handling!
The eternal cycle of Rust developers. First panel: "OH NO!" - when they realize their code might panic. Second panel: "ANYWAY" - as they slap on a .expect("This will never happen") and continue coding like nothing happened. It's basically the programming equivalent of putting duct tape over a check engine light. Sure, your code compiles, but that error is just waiting to blow up in production.

It's A Routine: Copy, Paste, Ship It!
The modern software development lifecycle: pour some StackOverflow solutions and GitHub snippets into your old project, call it a new web app, and hope nobody notices the coffee stains. Who needs original code when you can just recycle the same 5 functions you've been using since 2015? The "pour and pray" method is basically 90% of web development at this point. Bonus points if you rename a few variables to make it look like you actually wrote something new.
