Proceeds To Open ChatGPT

Documentation: *exists* Developers: *immediately pull out the "I-don't-care-inator"* Let's be honest—reading documentation is like flossing. We all know we should do it, but somehow we'd rather blast it into oblivion and ask ChatGPT to explain that obscure method in five words or less. Ten years of experience has taught me that the time saved skipping docs is always paid back with interest during 3 AM debugging sessions. Yet here we are, finger hovering over the ChatGPT tab, ready to type "how to center a div" for the 500th time.

When your code is so broken that even Stack Overflow can't help, just dump the entire codebase into an AI and pray. Because nothing says "professional developer" like outsourcing your debugging to a chatbot that will happily refactor your spaghetti code into slightly more organized spaghetti code. The modern equivalent of "have you tried turning it off and on again?" is now "have you tried asking an AI to fix it?" Next up: submitting your entire Git repo as a prompt.

The Code Is Documentation Enough

Just like vampires hiss at sunlight and Superman cowers from kryptonite, programmers have developed an evolutionary defense mechanism against documentation. "Why waste time writing docs when the code is right there?" we say, while secretly knowing our variable named temp_var_final_v2_ACTUAL tells absolutely no story whatsoever. Future maintainers will just have to develop telepathy or join the growing support group of developers who cry in server rooms.

How Programming Changed Over The Years

BEHOLD THE EVOLUTION OF PROGRAMMING SKILL! From the left: actual coding with binary (0/1) and circuit boards like some kind of digital caveman. Middle: the revolutionary "just copy-paste from Stack Overflow" technique (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V) that single-handedly saved our industry. And finally, the pinnacle of modern development—mastering the Tab key to make your stolen code look pretty! We've gone from building computers to basically just formatting other people's work. PROGRESS, DARLINGS! 💅

Don't Be Lazy: AI Won't Fix Your Bad Code

The eternal struggle between developer and AI. One wants a magical performance boost with zero effort, while the other suggests doing actual optimization work. Reminds me of every junior dev who thinks adding more RAM will fix their O(n²) algorithm. Spoiler: it won't. Batman's slap represents the harsh reality check we all need sometimes—no AI will save you from learning proper engineering practices.

Game Devs Nowadays

Why fix your spaghetti code when you can just demand players buy a $3000 gaming rig instead? Modern game development in a nutshell: "Can't run our unoptimized mess? Sounds like a YOU problem." Nothing says professional game design quite like shifting the burden of performance from talented developers to consumer hardware. Who needs efficient algorithms when you can just require 32GB RAM and the latest GPU that costs more than a used car?

The 21-Mile Debugging Shortcut

The eternal struggle of every developer who's ever lived! Instead of taking the quick quarter-mile journey to actually understand why our code is broken, we drag ourselves 21 grueling miles through the desert of desperation, repeatedly begging our IDE's cursor to magically fix itself. That blinking cursor mocks us while we type "pls fix" into the void for the 47th time, as if our computer might suddenly grow sentient and take pity on us. Meanwhile, the path to actually debugging the problem properly sits right there, practically untraveled. The compiler tried to tell us what was wrong, but we weren't listening!

The Sacred Art Of Documentation Avoidance

Documentation? Sorry, I don't speak that language. The sacred rule of coding: "If it works, don't touch it and definitely don't explain it." Future you will figure it out... or burn the codebase to the ground trying. That mysterious function without comments? It's not laziness—it's a puzzle box I've gifted to my colleagues. Think of it as team-building!

Remember when we spent hours implementing binary trees and sorting algorithms from scratch? Now there's a line of developers sprinting toward ChatGPT while the "Data Structures & Algorithms" door collects dust. Why bother with Big O notation when you can just prompt engineer your way to a solution? The irony is we still need those fundamentals to understand if ChatGPT's code will crash and burn in production. But hey, who has time for that when deadlines are yesterday?

Just Read The Docs Man

The perfect response when your coworker asks if you've consulted the documentation before bothering them with your problem. Ten years in this industry and I've developed a sixth sense for detecting who actually reads docs versus who just mashes Stack Overflow solutions together until something works. Documentation is like flossing - everybody claims they do it regularly, but the reality is much grimmer. Most devs would rather reverse-engineer an entire codebase than spend 5 minutes reading what the author actually intended.

There Will Be Signs

Oh honey, the AUDACITY of developers who think they can sneak AI-generated code into the codebase without anyone noticing! 💅 It's like wearing a neon sign that screams "I TOOK SHORTCUTS!" The second your team reviews that suspiciously perfect yet weirdly alien code, they'll sense a disturbance in the Force faster than Darth Vader at a family reunion. Your code review is about to become more dramatic than a telenovela season finale when everyone realizes you let ChatGPT do your homework!

The Modern Developer's Dilemma

Ah, the classic "asking AI to do your actual job" maneuver! This tweet perfectly showcases the modern developer's workflow: 1) Hear about LLMs 2) Immediately try to outsource your data parsing tasks that you're probably paid six figures to handle. The irony is that parsing documents between formats is literally what programming languages have been doing for decades. It's like asking "Is there a car specifically designed for driving?" while sitting in a Ferrari. Pro tip: Yes, there are LLMs for this. They're called "learning regex" and "using libraries that already exist." Revolutionary concept!
