What It Feels Like By Now

What It Feels Like By Now
Oh snap! The AI bubble just got popped harder than my dreams of writing bug-free code on the first try! 🎯 After years of hype cycles and buzzword bingo, we've reached that beautiful moment of clarity where someone finally said the quiet part out loud. All those fancy "AI solutions" your boss keeps pushing? Just regular algorithms wearing expensive suits and practicing elevator pitches! It's like when you rename your "if-else" function to "DecisionIntelligenceEngine™" and suddenly your startup is worth $10 million. Pure magic! ✨

99% Of Y'all's Marketing Problems Explained

99% Of Y'all's Marketing Problems Explained
The four-panel descent into game dev reality hits harder than a production bug on release day! It starts with pure optimism: "we make the game" (cue innocent developer dreams). Then the marketing team swoops in with their brilliant strategy: "we market the game to the people who want to play the game" (revolutionary, I know). But then comes the soul-crushing realization in duplicate panels: "we realize nobody actually wants to play this game." That moment when you discover your revolutionary procedurally-generated roguelike dating sim with blockchain integration isn't actually appealing to... well, anyone. This is why market research before writing a single line of code isn't just good practice—it's emotional self-preservation!

The GPU Catfish: Wide Bus, Narrow Expectations

The GPU Catfish: Wide Bus, Narrow Expectations
The GPU market's version of getting catfished. First panel: "RTX 5060 gets a 128-bit bus" sounds impressive until the second panel reveals the fine print: "With 3GB GDDR7 chips & 12GB VRam, right?" The excitement builds! But then the third panel hits with that dead-eyed stare of disappointment, followed by the crushing reality in panel four: "With 12GB VRam, right?" It's like when marketing promises you unlimited data, then whispers "...after 5GB we'll throttle you to dial-up speeds." Nvidia's playing the classic bait-and-switch game that every hardware enthusiast has learned to expect. That 128-bit bus with 12GB VRAM is like putting racing stripes on a minivan - looks cool until you try to actually use it.

Marketing Is Hard: The Indie Dev Emoji

Marketing Is Hard: The Indie Dev Emoji
That eye-rolling emoji perfectly captures the soul-crushing experience of indie devs trying to market their games. You spent 2 years building your masterpiece, and now you have to somehow convince people to care with a budget of exactly $0 and the social media skills of a hermit crab. "Please play my game" tweets into the void while Steam's algorithm yawns in your general direction. Meanwhile, AAA studios are over there dropping $50 million marketing budgets like it's nothing. The duality of game dev: brilliant enough to build complex systems, yet completely useless at telling anyone why they should care.

The Great Tech Marketing Bamboozle

The Great Tech Marketing Bamboozle
Marketing vs. Reality: The eternal tech industry cycle. "Serverless" still runs on servers. "No code" still requires coding. It's like ordering a "meatless" burger and finding out it's just meat hidden in a different bun. After 15 years in the industry, I've learned that new buzzwords are just old problems wearing trendy hats. The facepalm is the universal gesture of a developer who just deployed their first "serverless" function and discovered they're debugging server configurations at 2 AM.

Algorithms Are Like Small A Is

Algorithms Are Like Small A Is
Ah, the classic marketing vs. reality divide. Developers know that what they built is just a simple counter algorithm that goes from 1 to 10, but marketing swoops in and suddenly it's "AI POWERED™" with a trademark symbol because god forbid we call things what they actually are. After 20 years in this industry, I've seen "revolutionary AI" that was just a bunch of if-statements wrapped in a fancy UI. The trademark symbol is the chef's kiss of bullshit – nothing says "we're pretending this is special" quite like a completely unnecessary ™.

Name Hijacking

Name Hijacking
Ah, the eternal naming struggle! Developers spend hours crafting beautiful, SEO-friendly project names only to throw it all away for CoffeeTable , Banana , or Mongoose . We'll meticulously plan architecture diagrams but then name our main function doStuff() . The marketing team weeps while we gleefully commit our fifth project named after kitchen appliances. And don't get me started on package names - nothing says "professional software" like depending on left-pad and is-even .

Fake It Till You Fund It

Fake It Till You Fund It
The perfect startup recipe: one person who can't write a for-loop without StackOverflow and another who thinks SEO means "Some Extra Options." Yet somehow, when these two shake hands, venture capitalists throw money at them faster than developers abandon jQuery. After 15 years in tech, I've watched this exact scenario play out dozens of times. The codebase is held together with npm packages and prayers, the marketing strategy is "go viral," and yet they're valued at $50M pre-revenue. Meanwhile, I'm debugging production issues at 10pm for a company that actually makes money.

Content DeSADESBY Kelly Kochanski, Phillip Remaker and Alec Cawley upvoted 2h Carey Aydelotte Follow humanish Sun Will software engineers ever stop being in demand? There are two schools of thought. Those with a background in business see developers as commodities and fully believe that programmers will program themselves out of a job field. The idea is that in some distant future, jobs like project manager, product manager, and marketing manager will still be critical but programmers themselves will be extinct as a result of the tools they created. X The other school of thought is hard to understand because the programmers are laughing so hard they can't talk. 13.4K views View 964 upvotes View 4 shares EDDEDERSE You, Phillip Remaker, Michael Jergensen and 7 more upvoted this 1 964 7 94 0 34 000
