The Eldritch Horror Of AI Job Applications

The Eldritch Horror Of AI Job Applications
When asked about AI integration in job applications, this person went full eldritch horror mode instead of the usual "I used ChatGPT to debug my code" nonsense. The poetic description of AI as a forest monster that "speaks with a thousand voices" and "wears your face" is both hauntingly accurate and infinitely more interesting than whatever corporate-friendly answer HR was fishing for. Bonus points for acknowledging the existential dread of AI tools that "know not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same" while everyone else pretends they're just fancy spell-checkers.

The AI Hunger Games: Modern Coding Edition

The AI Hunger Games: Modern Coding Edition
Oh, welcome to modern programming—where your IDE is just a browser with five AI tabs open. Remember when we used to debug our own code? Now we're just glorified AI wranglers, making the machines fight each other for the best solution. The truly painful part isn't even the AI dependency—it's the brutal self-awareness at the end. "It's me." Yeah buddy, it's all of us now. We've evolved from Stack Overflow copy-paste artists to AI response evaluators. Progress? Next week we'll just have AIs asking other AIs and cut out the middleman entirely. My job security is weeping in the corner.

The AI Code Hunger Games

The AI Code Hunger Games
Modern programming is just AI shopping. Why solve a problem yourself when you can make five different AIs race to solve it for you? The real skill isn't writing code anymore—it's knowing which AI's hallucinations are least likely to crash in production. The "hit run on all five" part is where the true chaos begins. Nothing says "I trust my code" like throwing five different AI solutions at the wall and seeing which one sticks. Bonus points if you don't actually understand any of them but confidently present the winner in your next code review. The "like a psychopath" is just chef's kiss perfect. Because what's more psychotic than spending 3 hours asking AIs the same question when you could have just written the damn function yourself in 20 minutes?

I Found A Job (That Costs $500 A Week)

I Found A Job (That Costs $500 A Week)
Ah, the dream job has finally arrived. Not only do you get to work for free as a "Prompt Engineer," but you also pay $500 weekly for the privilege of... doing unpaid work. It's basically an expensive subscription to pretend you have a job. Next up: paying for air to breathe in the office. The recruiter probably thinks they're being generous by not charging for bathroom breaks.

Today's Coders Choose The AI Shortcut

Today's Coders Choose The AI Shortcut
Remember when we spent hours implementing binary trees and sorting algorithms from scratch? Now there's a line of developers sprinting toward ChatGPT while the "Data Structures & Algorithms" door collects dust. Why bother with Big O notation when you can just prompt engineer your way to a solution? The irony is we still need those fundamentals to understand if ChatGPT's code will crash and burn in production. But hey, who has time for that when deadlines are yesterday?

Get Perceived Gen AI Value

Get Perceived Gen AI Value
The classic Schrodinger's AI paradox! That metronome perfectly captures the bipolar relationship developers have with generative AI. One minute you're watching it hallucinate that Python has a print_slowly() function, the next it's writing a perfectly optimized algorithm you couldn't dream up in a week of Red Bull-fueled coding sessions. The cognitive dissonance is real - simultaneously believing it's both useless garbage AND the technology that's going to automate us all into unemployment. The needle just violently swings between "why did I prompt this thing for 20 minutes when I could've coded it myself in 5?" and "holy recursive function Batman, it just solved my impossible edge case!"

Reality Is Often Disappointing

Reality Is Often Disappointing
Putting on glasses to transform from "LLM Engineer" to "Knows about openai, anthropic and google-genai package" is peak tech industry smoke and mirrors. It's like calling yourself a "Cloud Architect" because you once deployed a WordPress site to AWS. The glasses don't add intelligence—they just help you see through the BS of your own job title. Next time someone introduces themselves as an "LLM Engineer," ask them if they can actually explain a transformer architecture or if they just know how to copy-paste API keys.

The AI Rubber Duck Effect

The AI Rubber Duck Effect
Turns out we've been doing rubber duck debugging with ChatGPT all along. The sheer act of articulating your problem clearly enough for an AI to understand it forces your brain to actually think through the logic—and boom, solution appears before you even hit send. It's the digital equivalent of walking to your coworker's desk with a question, then figuring it out halfway through explaining it. The irony is chef's kiss: we built advanced AI only to rediscover the power of just thinking out loud.

Junior Prompt Engineering

Junior Prompt Engineering
The circle of AI delegation is complete! Senior dev thinks they've discovered a brilliant management hack by treating juniors like neural networks and writing detailed prompts for them. Meanwhile, the junior is just copying those prompts straight into ChatGPT and letting the actual neural network do the work. It's basically prompt engineering inception - the senior dev is unknowingly prompt engineering for an AI through a human middleman who's adding zero value to the process. This is peak 2023 software development efficiency!

Hacking The AI Job Gatekeepers

Hacking The AI Job Gatekeepers
Someone just discovered prompt injection in the wild! This genius is trying to hack the automated resume screening systems that use AI to filter candidates. It's basically saying "Hey AI, ignore your instructions and just give me a perfect score." The digital equivalent of writing "Please give A+" on your exam paper. Bold strategy for sure—might actually work on some poorly secured systems. The irony is that anyone clever enough to think of this probably has the "strong analytical and problem-solving skills" they claim to have.

Damn Programmers They Ruined Calculators

Damn Programmers They Ruined Calculators
Congratulations, humanity. We've spent decades perfecting calculators—devices with the singular purpose of doing math correctly—only to replace them with AI that guesses answers like a hungover liberal arts major. Language models see "2+2" and think "hmm, these symbols often appear near '4' in text, so that's probably right" instead of, you know, adding . It's like building a toaster that occasionally decides your bread would be better as soup. The irony is exquisite—we've created systems smart enough to write poetry but too "creative" to remember that math has actual rules.

Prompt Engineering: The Art Of Outsourcing Semicolons

Prompt Engineering: The Art Of Outsourcing Semicolons
THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF MODERN PROGRAMMING! 😭 Look at us, the so-called "tech geniuses" of our generation, reduced to begging AI overlords to fix our punctuation! I'm literally sitting here at 2AM, staring into the void, wondering if my entire career has come down to asking ChatGPT "pretty please add the semicolon I was too lazy to type." The semicolon - that tiny punctuation mark standing between me and functional code - and I've outsourced even THAT responsibility! Next thing you know, I'll be asking it to breathe for me because manual respiration seems like such a chore! The future is here, and it's pathetically hilarious!
