It's Working

1 day ago 132.6K views 0 shares

Someone asked for help printing numbers 1-25 in a clockwise expanding spiral pattern. The "solution" is just five hardcoded print statements with the numbers manually typed out in rows. No loops, no algorithms, no spiral logic—just raw, unfiltered copy-paste energy. The sender confidently declares "It's working" like they just solved P=NP. Technically correct? Sure. The numbers are there. They're in some kind of pattern. Mission accomplished, right? This is the programming equivalent of being asked to build a car and showing up with a skateboard taped to a lawnmower. The person who asked for help said "thanks" which means they either didn't actually look at the code, or they've completely given up on life. Both are valid responses in this industry.

Before Was At Least Cheaper

Oh, how the times have changed! In 2020, we were writing our own isOdd() function with a cascade of if statements like absolute savages. Fast forward to 2025, and we're just outsourcing our brain cells to OpenAI's API. Sure, the 2020 approach was inefficient and borderline ridiculous (just use num % 2 !== 0 , you monsters!), but at least it didn't cost $0.002 per API call. Progress? Maybe. But our wallets are definitely feeling the difference between "free but stupid" and "smart but expensive." The real tragedy is that somewhere out there, a junior dev is actually implementing this in production right now.

I Can Do The Math (But AI Can Do It For Me)

The AUDACITY of this code! Instead of just adding two variables like a normal human being (a + b = 8, duh!), this developer is summoning the almighty ChatGPT to perform basic arithmetic! 💀 We've gone from "Let me Google that for you" to "Let me ask an AI to add 5+3" and honestly I'm having an existential crisis about the future of programming. Next thing you know, we'll be using quantum supercomputers to calculate tip percentages at restaurants! The saddest part? This is probably faster than some of my teammates' code reviews. 🙃

When AI Writes Your Hello World

When you're so lazy that you ask AI to write a "Hello World" program and then execute it directly without even reading the code. That final eval code is just *chef's kiss* - the perfect blend of modern efficiency and complete disregard for security. Nothing says "senior developer" like blindly executing code from the internet. Security team having a stroke in 3... 2... 1...

Flex Tape Programming: The C# Way

When your manager asks for a new feature by tomorrow, but you've got zero bandwidth: C# dev uses the magical Flex Tape of programming—slapping a NotImplementedException() on that method and shipping it anyway! The digital equivalent of "This leak? What leak? I don't see any water!" Works until QA actually tries to use it... then all hell breaks loose.

Try → Catch → Stack Overflow

StackOverflow Webdev Javascript Programming Debugging

The real exception handling workflow no instructor will teach you! Instead of actually handling errors properly, this genius just copies the error message, builds a StackOverflow URL with it, and automatically opens a browser tab. It's basically outsourcing your problem-solving to random internet strangers who'll either solve your issue or mock your coding skills into oblivion. The modern developer's prayer: "Dear StackOverflow gods, please let someone have encountered this obscure error before me."

$Just Ignore And Try Again Later ¯\_(ツ)_/¯$

The code equivalent of sweeping dust under the rug! That comment in the catch block is basically every developer at 4:59 PM on a Friday. "Oh, an exception? I'll just leave a cute little shrug emoticon and a comment promising to fix it 'later' (read: never). Because who needs proper error handling when you can just pretend the problem doesn't exist? Future You will totally appreciate this brilliant strategy when production crashes at 2 AM!

Vibe Sort: When Algorithms Meet AI Laziness

When your sorting algorithm is just "Hey ChatGPT, can you sort this for me?" 🤣 Finally, a sorting algorithm with O(API_call) complexity! Sure, it might take 3 seconds instead of 0.000001, but why implement quicksort when you can outsource your basic CS skills to an AI that probably learned from the Stack Overflow answers you were too lazy to read? Next up: VibeSearch - for when binary search is just too much work.

Peak Code Reuse

Ah, the infinite loop of laziness masquerading as efficiency. Two functions locked in an eternal codependency, each refusing to do its own work. isEven() just passes the buck to isOdd() with a +1 twist, while isOdd() returns the favor by calling isEven() with the same trick. Neither function actually checks anything – they just play hot potato until the stack overflows and the whole program collapses like my will to review pull requests on Friday afternoons.

Debugging My Code: The Sophisticated Approach

The fancy cruise ship labeled "SYSTEMATICALLY DEBUGGING CODE WITH A DEBUGGER" sails majestically in the distance while a lone developer (labeled "ME") paddles on a surfboard frantically throwing print("HELLO") statements into the water like primitive fishing lines. Let's be honest—we've all skipped learning proper debugging tools and instead littered our code with print statements like digital breadcrumbs. Sure, the debugger is right there, but why use sophisticated equipment when caveman debugging tactics have worked since 1970? It's not laziness, it's... tradition.

Vibesort: When Your Arrays Need That Special AI Touch

Finally, a sorting algorithm with the computational complexity of O($$). Just send your array to GPT, pay a few cents, and get it back sorted. Perfect for when you need your data arranged but can't be bothered to remember how quicksort works. The best part? If your array isn't sorted correctly, you can just claim it's because the AI "didn't understand the vibe" of your integers.
