When You Are A Coding Girl

4 days ago 239.9K views 0 shares

Long nails? Cute, but utterly incompatible with typing 200 words per minute while hunting down that semicolon you forgot three hours ago. Coding girls know the truth: those beautiful manicured nails are the first casualty of war when you're deep in the trenches debugging at 2 AM. Short, practical nails are the badge of honor. You can't accidentally hit three keys at once when you're trying to press Ctrl+C if your nails don't extend past your fingertips. Plus, try explaining to your nail tech why you need them trimmed every week because "my IDE and I have trust issues with long nails."

Disliking Tech Bros ≠ Disliking Tech

There's a massive difference between being skeptical of AI because you understand its limitations, ethical concerns, and the hype cycle versus blindly hating it because some crypto-bro-turned-AI-guru is trying to sell you a $5000 course on "prompt engineering mastery." One is a principled technical stance, the other is just being tired of LinkedIn influencers calling themselves "AI thought leaders" after running ChatGPT twice. The tech industry has a real problem with snake oil salesmen who pivot from NFTs to AI faster than you can say "pivot to video." They oversell capabilities, underdeliver on promises, and make the rest of us who actually work with these technologies look bad. You can appreciate machine learning as a powerful tool while simultaneously wanting to throw your laptop when someone pitches "AI-powered blockchain synergy" in a meeting. It's like being a chef who loves cooking but hates people who sell $200 "artisanal" toast. The technology isn't the problem—it's the grifters monetizing the hype.

Same Thing Different Timelines

Crypto Bros and Vibe Coders finally found common ground: they both excel at making computers work really hard to produce absolutely nothing of value. One group burns enough electricity to power a small nation to mint JPEGs of apes, while the other ships half-baked apps held together with duct tape and vibes. The real poetry here is that both camps think they're revolutionizing technology. Crypto Bros believe they're disrupting finance while their blockchain takes 10 minutes to process a transaction. Vibe Coders think "it works on my machine" is a valid deployment strategy and that TypeScript is just a suggestion. At least they're united in their ability to make senior engineers weep into their coffee.

Why We Need AI Everywhere

Employee picks the urinal with proper spacing like a civilized human being. Boss walks in and stands directly next to someone when there's an entire row of empty urinals. Classic power move or complete lack of bathroom etiquette awareness. Boss then decides the real problem isn't their questionable decision-making skills—it's that we need to "infuse AI into our products." Because nothing says innovation like ignoring basic social protocols while pitching buzzword solutions. Maybe we do need AI everywhere. Starting with an AI-powered bathroom assistant that gently reminds management about the unwritten urinal spacing rule: always leave at least one urinal gap . Could call it GPT-Pee.

I Am Thrilled To Announce That

Networking

LinkedIn has become the digital equivalent of watching someone perform a TED Talk while standing in a dumpster fire. You've got people writing these dramatic, corporate-speak announcements about literally nothing, acting like they just discovered the cure for cancer when they learned how to use Git merge. The "Reading the latest Epstein revelations taught me 3 things about networking (B2B SaaS edition)" is the chef's kiss of LinkedIn cringe. Someone really sat there thinking "How can I turn a serious scandal into engagement bait for my SaaS hustle?" That's the LinkedIn special: take any world event, add some buzzwords, and pretend it taught you leadership lessons. We've all seen these posts. "I'm humbled to announce..." followed by the least humble thing imaginable. The platform went from professional networking to a weird mix of motivational poster factory and humble-brag Olympics. Just post your job update and go, nobody needs your 10-point listicle on how your morning coffee routine relates to microservices architecture.

Vivaldi Bringing The Anti-AI Sass!

While Chrome, Edge, and Safari are tripping over themselves to shove AI chatbots into every corner of their UI, Vivaldi just dropped the coldest take in browser history: "Actually, human intelligence is better." 💀 The absolute audacity of releasing version 7.8 with the thesis that *checks notes* humans equipped with good tools don't need algorithmic assistants is chef's kiss levels of contrarian energy. It's like showing up to a Tesla convention in a perfectly maintained 1967 Mustang. Vivaldi basically looked at the billions being poured into AI integration and said "nah, we're good" – which is either the most refreshing stance in tech right now or a marketing strategy so galaxy-brained it loops back to being genius. Either way, respect for zigging while everyone else zags.

I Feel Targeted And Triggered By That Except I Would Never Buy A Mac

The brutal truth about tech bros and their spending priorities hits different when it's laid out like this. You'll drop $5k on a maxed-out MacBook Pro and another grand on a Herman Miller Aeron because "ergonomics" and "productivity," then rationalize it with spreadsheets showing cost-per-hour calculations over a 10-year lifespan. But that conference T-shirt from a startup that's been dead for half a decade? That's your daily uniform. The irony is chef's kiss—we optimize our tools to perfection while our wardrobe screams "I got dressed in the dark at a hackathon." The real kicker? Posted from an iPhone. The self-awareness is there, just not strong enough to actually change anything.

I Have Been Attacked

Tech bros will drop $5K on a maxed-out MacBook Pro and a $1,500 Herman Miller chair, justifying it with spreadsheets and ROI calculations about "productivity optimization" and "ergonomic investment." Then they'll rotate through the same three wrinkled startup tees from that hackathon in 2017 like it's a capsule wardrobe. The cognitive dissonance is real—your posture gets luxury treatment while your appearance screams "I peaked when we got Series A funding." But hey, at least your lumbar support is premium while you're debugging at 2 AM in a shirt that says "Move Fast and Break Things" (which is now ironic because the company folded).

Then And Now

From building civilization's infrastructure to importing pandas. The devolution is complete. Engineers used to flex about constructing dams, ships, planes, and power grids. Now we're all just four variations of the same guy proudly announcing we wrote a two-line Python script that probably just does print("Hello World") or imports 47 dependencies to add two numbers together. The best part? We still feel accomplished. That's the real engineering marvel here.

Meeting The Senior Dev

You walk in all starry-eyed, ready to meet the legendary senior dev who's been at the company since the codebase was written in Assembly. You're expecting some towering figure of wisdom and authority. Instead, you get someone who looks like they've been debugging production issues for the last 72 hours straight and has the emotional energy of a drained battery. The height difference here? That's the gap between your expectations and reality. You thought you'd meet a guru. You got someone who's just... tired. Very, very tired. They've seen things. Merge conflicts that would make you weep. Legacy code that predates version control. They're not intimidating because they're brilliant—they're intimidating because they've survived. Fun fact: Senior developers aren't actually taller in real life, but their commit history definitely towers over yours.

Prompt Engineer Vs Sloperator

AI Devops Kubernetes Cloud

1 month ago 433.8K views 1 shares

The tech industry's newest identity crisis captured in two faces. On the left, "Prompt Engineer" looks appropriately concerned about their job title that basically means "I'm really good at asking ChatGPT nicely." On the right, "Sloperator" is giving that smug look of someone who just realized they can combine "SRE" and "DevOps" into something even more pretentious. For context: A "sloperator" is the lovechild of a sysadmin, a developer, and an operations engineer who's too cool for traditional labels. They probably have kubectl aliased to 'k' and think YAML is a personality trait. Both roles are real, both sound made up, and both will be replaced by something even more ridiculous next year. Remember when we were just "programmers"? Simpler times.

You Piece Of Vibe Coder You Are Not Senior Dev Understand

Nothing triggers a real senior dev quite like seeing some fresh-faced 21-year-old on Instagram claiming "Senior Developer" in their bio. Kid probably just finished their bootcamp last Tuesday and suddenly they're out here acting like they've survived production incidents at 3 AM, dealt with legacy code from 2003, or had to explain to management why "just make it work like Facebook" isn't a valid requirement. Senior isn't just about knowing React hooks or writing clean code. It's about the battle scars—the time you accidentally dropped the production database, the merge conflicts that made you question your career choices, the technical debt you inherited from three developers ago who all quit. You earn that title through years of pain, not by watching YouTube tutorials and calling yourself a "10x engineer." But hey, LinkedIn influencer culture has everyone speedrunning their careers these days. Next thing you know, teenagers will be listing "CTO" because they deployed a Next.js app to Vercel.
