Someone discovered you can skip the entire computer science curriculum by copy-pasting transformer code from Hugging Face. Why waste years learning Python, data structures, algorithms, discrete math, calculus, and statistics when you can just import a pre-trained model and call it "AI engineering"? The escalator labeled "attention is all you need" (referencing the famous transformer paper) goes straight to the top while the stairs gather dust. Turns out the only prerequisite for a six-figure AI job is knowing how to pip install and having the confidence to say "I fine-tuned a model" in interviews.

Look at me, taking a picture of ChatGPT instead of actually writing documentation. It's the modern dev equivalent of taking vacation photos of the information plaque instead of the actual mountain. Why spend hours documenting code when I can just ask an AI to do it later? Ten years of experience has taught me that future me will definitely understand what current me was thinking without proper docs. Totally. The irony of treating documentation like a distant, majestic view while the actual codebase is right there needing attention is just *chef's kiss*. We've evolved from "the code is self-documenting" to "the AI will document it for me."
