Npm I: The Great Dependency Flood
Nothing quite like the sweet satisfaction of dumping 500MB of dependencies into your tiny side project. Run a simple npm install and suddenly your 10-line script needs the entire JavaScript ecosystem to function. That 5KB utility? It's bringing along its extended family, third cousins, and everyone they've ever met. But hey, at least you didn't have to write your own string reversal function, right? The node_modules black hole: where disk space goes to die and package-lock.json grows longer than your actual codebase.

The Lost Art Of Writing Code From Memory
Remember when we used to just... know how to code? These days, writing 10 whole lines without frantically Googling some basic syntax feels like an achievement worthy of a LinkedIn post. "Look Ma, I remembered how to write a for loop all by myself!" Sure, Stack Overflow withdrawal symptoms include cold sweats and imposter syndrome, but hey—honest work is honest work.

Vibe Coding Is The Future They Said
So "vibecoding" means staring at 2FA screens all day instead of actual code. Revolutionary. Nothing says "future of programming" like constantly typing in verification codes because your session expired while you were getting coffee. The real innovation is how they've replaced syntax errors with "invalid code, please try again" messages.

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! 💅

The Node_Modules Backpacking Adventure
The eternal struggle of modern web development: Your actual app code is a measly 300kb, but somehow you're lugging around 12GB of node_modules like some kind of digital pack mule. Nothing says "efficient coding" like needing 40,000x more space for dependencies than your actual product. And we wonder why our laptops sound like they're preparing for takeoff every time we run npm install .

This MF Cannot Code Without AI
The modern dev dependency crisis in full display! Remember when we used to actually write code instead of prompting AI for solutions? Now it's all "Hey ChatGPT, implement a binary search tree" while our actual coding muscles atrophy. The mannequin perfectly represents that dev who freezes up when GitHub Copilot goes down for maintenance. Pure panic. Meanwhile, the rest of us dinosaurs who learned to code before AI assistants are just watching the chaos unfold with a mix of amusement and existential dread. Evolution is brutal.

The Modern Developer's Time Paradox
Fixing a bug in 30 minutes? Easy peasy, disgusted face. Spending an entire workday explaining to ChatGPT what your codebase does, your business logic, and why that one legacy function from 2014 can't be touched? Chef's kiss. The irony is delicious. We've gone from "let me just fix this myself" to "let me spend 8x longer teaching an AI about all our technical debt so it can suggest the same fix I would've made anyway." Future job posting: "Senior Prompt Engineer - Must have 5+ years experience explaining code to machines that pretend to understand."

The Foundation Of Modern Digital Infrastructure
The entire tech industry building massive, complex systems while Rust sits in the corner like that one tiny critical bolt holding everything together. Sure, let's keep piling more JavaScript frameworks on top while pretending our foundation isn't held together by some memory-safe code written by people who actually care about not segfaulting in production. That single Rust component is probably preventing half the internet from imploding on Tuesday afternoons.

The Desperate Search For The AI Off Switch
The duality of modern developers: initially impressed by shiny new AI features, followed immediately by the desperate search for the "off" button. GitHub Copilot might finish your code, but it also finishes your patience when it confidently suggests the wrong solution for the fifth time in a row. The real 10x developer move isn't using AI—it's knowing exactly when to turn it off.

Starting Strong, Finishing AI
The AUDACITY of modern development! Start a project with METICULOUS DETAIL and PAINSTAKING EFFORT—just to abandon it halfway through and let some AI finish the job with stick figures! 💀 It's the coding equivalent of making a gourmet meal and then asking your toddler to plate it. We begin with such GRAND AMBITIONS only to hit that third milestone and suddenly it's "dear ChatGPT, please fix my spaghetti code." The horse doesn't lie—we're all just one deadline away from sacrificing our artistic integrity for a quick fix!

Modern Problems Require AI Solutions
Ah yes, the pinnacle of modern debugging: when your code fails, just ask ChatGPT to fix it. Who needs Stack Overflow anymore when you can just wrap your entire codebase in a try-catch and let AI handle the rest? Next step: AI that writes the bugs for you so the other AI can fix them. The circle of life in silicon.

The Great Developer Downgrade
Oh. My. GOD. The absolute TRAGEDY of modern programming in one image! 😭 Once upon a time, coding legends casually CARVED ENTIRE OPERATING SYSTEMS from raw binary—FOR FUN! Like majestic stallions galloping up a beautifully carved staircase. Meanwhile, today's developers (myself included) are basically that sad little toy horse, drowning in frameworks, Stack Overflow, Git issues, and caffeine, screaming "NOTHING WORKS" into the void while frantically copying code snippets. We've evolved from digital sculptors to digital BEGGARS. The audacity of us calling ourselves "programmers" while we're just gluing libraries together and praying!
