Was Vibe Coding Before It Was Cool
The evolution of "vibe coding" is hilariously captured here! The top shows modern vibe coding with trendy tools: starting with Astro (that sunburst logo), moving to Bun (the orange squares), and finally to Svelte (the sleek green wave). Meanwhile, the bottom panel shows the OG vibe coding: outsourcing to India with those global connection lines. Basically, your hipster friend bragging about their tech stack is just reinventing what companies figured out 20 years ago—except instead of "leveraging global talent," they're installing npm packages while sipping oat milk lattes. The circle of dev life continues!

When $8/hr Makes You A Senior Developer
Ah yes, the classic "market correction" we've all been waiting for. Nothing says "your decade of experience and six-figure student loans were worth it" quite like being offered McDonald's wages for senior developer positions. That smug cartoon dog sipping his drink represents every offshore recruiter who thinks your expertise in building scalable distributed systems is worth approximately one Starbucks latte per hour. The best part? It's a promoted post—someone actually paid money to advertise this absurdity. Welcome to 2023, where your GitHub contributions are worth less than the electricity it took to push them.

My Attempt To Get Outsourced Colleague To Write Good Code
The eternal battle between code quality advocates and those who just want to ship it! That desperate moment when you're practically begging your outsourced colleague to write unit tests, only to receive the bluntest "No" in return. It's like trying to convince someone that flossing is important—they know they should, but they're definitely not going to. The code coverage report remains at a pristine 0%, while the technical debt compounds faster than your student loans. Who needs tests when you can just push to production and pray? What could possibly go wrong?

The Degree Acquisition Shortcut
The secret ingredient to academic success: outsourcing your assembly code homework on Upwork for $30-40/hour! Someone's literally paying a contractor to join a Zoom call and explain their "graduate level assignment" while the code is already done. The beautiful irony of hiring someone to explain code you're supposed to understand yourself. Forget pulling all-nighters with obscure MOV instructions and stack pointers—just find someone to do your academic dirty work! Bonus points for the "No degree mentioned" tag, because apparently you don't need one to help others get theirs.

Can't Rework To Make It Better
Top frame: a pristine school bus on tracks, representing your in-house team's meticulously crafted code. Bottom frame: same bus getting absolutely demolished by a train - that's what happens when management decides to save a few bucks by hiring the cheapest offshore devs they could find on Fiverr. Nothing says "technical debt" quite like watching your beautiful architecture get flattened by someone who thinks "code documentation" means adding random comments in broken English. The project timeline just went from "on schedule" to "we're completely derailed."

Well Actually Its State Of The Art Ai
Oh snap! The classic tech industry bait-and-switch! 😂 Companies be like "Check out our REVOLUTIONARY AI system" and then the fine print reveals it's actually just outsourced human labor! Amazon's "just walk out" checkout tech that everyone thought was some magical computer vision breakthrough? Surprise! It was 1,000 humans in India watching cameras the whole time! The astronaut meme perfectly captures that moment when the tech bubble bursts and we realize the "AI" behind the curtain is just people working for cheaper wages. Next time someone brags about their company's "AI solution," I'll be side-eyeing them wondering how many humans are actually powering that "algorithm"!

The Chain Of Command
The perfect illustration of how a $5,000 website magically transforms into a $50 project after six layers of outsourcing! This is basically the tech industry's version of telephone game, except everyone's wallet gets progressively lighter. What starts with a clueless business owner willing to shell out thousands ends with some poor developer in India coding an entire website for the price of a pizza. Meanwhile, every middleman takes their cut while adding zero value except the phrase "I know a guy." And the best part? The original client still has no idea when their website will be ready. Spoiler alert: it won't be.
