I Don't Want To Learn Rust
The circle of tech life is complete. Remember judging your parents for saying "what's a browser?" Now here we are, staring at Rust's borrow checker like it's quantum physics written in hieroglyphics. After 15 years of coding, I've evolved from "I can learn any language!" to "Does this new framework spark joy? No? Then it's dead to me." The tech fatigue is real - we've all become the very technophobes we swore to replace.

Don't Know What's This Vibe Coding Thing Is
The eternal struggle of tech evolution: that moment when a new framework/language drops and suddenly everyone's talking about it like it's been around forever. Meanwhile, you're sitting there wondering if "vibe coding" is some revolutionary paradigm that will make your code emit positive energy, or just another JavaScript library that'll be obsolete by Tuesday. The fear is real. Ask about it and expose yourself as a tech dinosaur? Or nod knowingly while frantically Googling under the table? We've all been there—silently adding it to the mountain of tech debt in our brains while hoping no one asks us to implement it in the next sprint.

Coding Before And After AI
The railroad tracks of progress have certainly gotten more complex! On the left, we have the traditional straight-line coding path—simple, predictable, and takes you 5 hours to reach a single destination. On the right, the AI-assisted coding multiverse with infinite possibilities, chaotic intersections, and enough track switches to give a train conductor an existential crisis. Sure, you'll build your app in 5 minutes with AI, but then spend the next 4 hours and 55 minutes figuring out which of the 47 different generated solutions actually works without summoning digital Cthulhu to your codebase. The real question: are we moving faster or just creating more impressive train wrecks?

Seniors Boasting About Their Pre-AI Coding Skills
The generational divide in tech has never been more savage! Old-timer dev with his magnificent beard is schooling these youngsters about the ancient art of coding without AI assistance. “ChatGPT? When I was your age I had to write my own code” hits different in 2024 when half of us are just prompt engineers now. It's like bragging about churning your own butter or hunting woolly mammoths. The irony? That senior probably copy-pasted from StackOverflow anyway. The tech cycle continues—today's juniors will someday lecture about the primitive days of having to type prompts instead of just thinking them.

Google A Din 1999
Ah, Google circa 1999 - the innocent childhood photo before puberty hit and turned it into a data-hoarding monster with commitment issues. Look at that adorable promise: "a pure search engine — no weather, no news feed, no links to sponsors, no ads, no distractions." That aged about as well as my promise to only have one cookie from the jar. Now Google tracks you more closely than your ex on social media and has more ads than a Times Square billboard. The digital equivalent of "I'll just have one drink tonight" followed by waking up with a sponsored hangover.

The Cavern Of Cloud Computing Lies
The cloud computing evolution depicted as a cave of lies! At the surface, we've got that ancient PC gathering dust under some desk—you know, the one IT forgot about but somehow still runs your company's critical payroll system. Dig deeper and you find EC2 instances, the "I'm totally in control of my infrastructure" phase. Go deeper still and there's Kubernetes, where DevOps engineers spend 80% of their time configuring YAML files and 20% explaining why everything is broken. And at the very bottom? "Serverless"—the promised land where servers supposedly don't exist, but you're actually just renting someone else's servers while sacrificing all debugging capabilities. The deeper you go, the more you pay for "simplicity" that requires a PhD to understand!

Back in the 60s, programmers were literally PUNCHING CODE into cards by hand! 🤯 The person in the image is holding up punch cards with the caption "COMPILERS TOOK MY JOB" - it's basically the original "robots are stealing our jobs" but for coding! Before compilers existed, humans had to manually convert code into machine-readable formats. Then BAM! Compilers showed up and were like "I got this" and an entire profession vanished faster than free pizza at a hackathon! Those punch card operators never saw it coming!

New Kidin Town
The evolution of software engineering in its natural habitat! First, we have the innocent "Software Engineer" - just a regular Pooh bear doing honest work. Then there's the slightly pretentious "Sr Software Engineer" - same bear, just wearing a tux and acting fancy because they learned what a design pattern is. But the final form? The "pRoMpt eNgiNeEr" with that cursed ransom-note typography - it's just a deranged panda typing "make me a website that looks like Amazon but better" into ChatGPT and calling it coding. The tech industry's equivalent of ordering a pizza and claiming you made dinner.

Look What They Took From Us
The great port extinction of our time! This meme perfectly captures the devolution of laptop design from "Swiss Army knife of connectivity" to "hope you enjoy carrying dongles for the rest of your life." Modern laptops went from having every port imaginable to basically two identical USB-C ports that require you to carry an adapter the size of a small country. Minimalism is great until you need to connect literally anything. The bottom MacBook is practically begging "please sir, may I have some more ports?" while the top one is like "we heard you like dongles, so we removed everything else."
