I Could Have Built That Feature For Approx 17 Billion Dollars Cheaper

I Could Have Built That Feature For Approx 17 Billion Dollars Cheaper
Oh. My. God. The AUDACITY of these AI companies claiming they've built the "world's smartest AI model" when it's LITERALLY just a glorified search engine with a political obsession! 😱 Trained on 200k GPUs? Postgraduate intelligence? PLEASE! The second you peek under the hood, it's just frantically searching for controversial keywords like some conspiracy-addicted teenager who discovered Twitter for the first time. The wide-eyed cat is ALL OF US when we realize these "revolutionary" AI systems that cost BILLIONS to develop are basically just fancy if-statements with a political agenda. I'm DYING! 💀

How The Tables Have Turned

How The Tables Have Turned
Remember when we were gods among mortals? The 2021-2022 tech boom was like being SpongeBob and Patrick at an all-you-can-eat buffet of job offers, six-figure salaries, and companies practically begging us to take their money. Fast forward to 2025, and we're Squidward—watching from behind the blinds as layoffs spread faster than a poorly optimized for-loop. The tech bubble didn't just burst; it ghosted us harder than that recruiter who promised to "circle back." Now we're fighting over the one backend position that doesn't require "10+ years experience in a framework released last Tuesday."

The Triple Threat: AI, Layoffs, And Your Dying Dreams

The Triple Threat: AI, Layoffs, And Your Dying Dreams
Remember that stable software career you were planning? Yeah, that's getting brutally stabbed by a perfect storm of layoffs and economic uncertainty while AI hype watches from the doorway with a sinister grin. Meanwhile, your dreams of becoming the next tech rockstar are standing outside, blissfully unaware they're about to be murdered too. The tech industry's version of a slasher film where your career aspirations are the unsuspecting teenagers. Pro tip: Maybe learn to sharpen knives as a backup skill? At least those can't be automated... yet.

They Don't Know I Have A Computer Science Degree

They Don't Know I Have A Computer Science Degree
Four years of algorithm analysis, data structures, and discrete mathematics just to ask if you want ketchup with that. The job market's so saturated that your resume with "proficient in 12 programming languages" is now being used to wrap burgers. Still paying off student loans with minimum wage while the CS dropout who made a silly app about cats is now worth millions. The ultimate stack overflow.

How People Are Actually Using Agentic AI

How People Are Actually Using Agentic AI
The tech industry in a single image. Massive crowds fighting to post LinkedIn updates about how they're "leveraging agentic AI solutions" while VCs throw money at anyone who mentions the buzzword. Meanwhile, a handful of folks actually discuss job displacement risks, and even fewer build anything useful. And that lonely stick figure trying to generate actual value? That's the junior dev who just wanted to automate their unit tests but got pulled into an "AI transformation initiative." The hype-to-value ratio remains gloriously consistent across every tech wave I've survived since the dot-com bubble.

Remember The Metaverse Hype

Remember The Metaverse Hype
The tech industry's attention span in one image. Remember when everyone was frantically building metaverse platforms? Yeah, me neither. Now it's all AI this, AI that, while metaverse sits in the corner wondering where all its venture capital went. The tech world just ghosted an entire digital universe for a chatbot that occasionally hallucinates facts about Napoleon. Silicon Valley relationships are more fickle than npm dependencies.

Tiny Founder, Big Threats

Tiny Founder, Big Threats
The classic startup founder strategy: drop buzzwords like "AI" and "ML" while looking suspiciously like a baby in a tuxedo threatening investors. Nothing says "I'm totally qualified to run a tech company" like combining artificial intelligence jargon with mild extortion! The tiny suit really sells the "I've definitely completed multiple successful exits" vibe. VC funding secured in 3... 2... 1...

The AI Rebrand Money Printer

The AI Rebrand Money Printer
The secret to tech wealth in 2025? Just slap "AI" on literally anything! Remember when we called them "scripts" and "automation"? Now they're "autonomous agents" with a 500% markup. Next week I'll be renaming my if-statements to "neural decision nodes" and retiring to my private island. The venture capital money practically throws itself at you!

Replace "AI" With "Cocaine" In Tech Posts

Replace "AI" With "Cocaine" In Tech Posts
Oh god, this is brilliant. Just imagine all those LinkedIn posts now: "Our new cocaine-powered chatbot will revolutionize customer service!" or "Top 10 ways cocaine will disrupt your industry!" The tech hype cycle and the actual cocaine cycle have the same phases: initial euphoria, inflated expectations, crushing disappointment, and somehow still costing you all your money. The only difference is one crashes after 20 minutes and the other after your next funding round.

Domain Name Confusion: When Your .io Meets Their .ai

Domain Name Confusion: When Your .io Meets Their .ai
The classic tech startup bait-and-switch! Some poor guy named Steve from Builder.io desperately trying to clarify "THIS IS A DIFFERENT COMPANY" while a satirical headline claims Builder.ai collapsed after revealing their "$1.5 BILLION AI UNICORN" was actually just... *checks notes*... Indian developers writing code manually. The irony is chef's-kiss perfect. Venture capitalists throwing billions at anything with ".ai" in the name while actual human programmers do the work behind the curtain. Meanwhile, Steve's just trying to enjoy his coffee without getting dragged into another company's PR nightmare because of domain name confusion. In 2023, just slap "AI" on your company name and watch the funding roll in! Who needs neural networks when you have perfectly good humans with keyboards?

The AI Rebrand Gold Rush

The AI Rebrand Gold Rush
The secret to tech wealth in 2023? Just rebrand your boring old workflows as "AI Agents" and watch investors throw money at you! It's the Silicon Valley equivalent of putting avocado on toast and charging $15 for it. No actual AI required - just slap the buzzword on your LinkedIn profile and prepare for the venture capital tsunami. The modern tech grift at its finest... I mean, "innovative disruption strategy."

VC Interview Be Like

VC Interview Be Like
The eternal VC funding dance. Top panel shows startup founders desperately holding up an "AI" label when asked what powers their startup. Bottom panel reveals the truth: it's just "Algorithms" – you know, the thing programmers have been using since computers existed. Nothing says "add three zeros to your valuation" quite like slapping "AI" on your if-else statements. Venture capitalists can't throw money fast enough when they hear those two magical letters.
