Low-code Memes

Ah, the classic corporate brainstorming session where everyone's looking for shortcuts except the one person suggesting the obvious solution. Low-code, AI, buzzwords galore—but nobody wants to hear "just hire someone who knows what they're doing." That dev getting thrown out the window represents every competent engineer watching their company chase shiny tech instead of proper staffing. The real punchline? Six months later they'll hire three devs anyway, but only after burning through the budget on half-baked AI solutions that generated more bugs than features.

The industry keeps inventing new terms to sell the same old drag-and-drop builders. First it was "low-code/no-code" platforms promising to make developers obsolete. Now it's "vibe code" - same cheap knockoff but with a trendy rebrand. It's like putting a fedora on a WYSIWYG editor and calling it innovative. Meanwhile, actual developers are sitting back watching management fall for buzzwords that'll be abandoned faster than a Git repository after the startup funding dries up.
