Biggest Self Report
That exhausted look when your coworker won't shut up about AI. The quotation marks around "programmers" say it all - real devs are busy fixing merge conflicts while the ChatGPT enthusiasts are planning how AI will write their next project. Meanwhile, the rest of us just want to finish our coffee before it gets cold.

Select Data Science From SQL
Ah yes, the classic executive who just discovered the term "data science" and now thinks anyone who can run a basic SQL query is suddenly a data scientist. Nothing says "I understand tech" quite like watching someone execute SELECT * FROM table and immediately asking if they should update their LinkedIn to "Senior ML Engineer." Meanwhile, actual data scientists with PhDs in statistics are quietly crying into their Jupyter notebooks.

Really Tired Of AI Hype
The eternal battle between AI evangelists and Unix veterans continues. One side thinks neural networks are magical solutions to everything, while the other knows that most problems can be solved by turning it off and on again. The real intelligence was the force-quit shortcuts we learned along the way.

These People Are Not Real
The only difference between AI consultants and LLMs is that one costs $300/hour. Both will confidently hallucinate a solution to your problem using words nobody understands, then gaslight you when it doesn't work. At least the LLM admits it's not sentient... yet.

AI Is Coming For Your Job
OMG, venture capitalists are LITERALLY WORSHIPPING autocomplete now! 😱 Silicon Valley VCs seeing predictive text and immediately falling to their knees like they've witnessed the second coming. "Look! It finished my sentence! TAKE MY MILLIONS!" Meanwhile, actual engineers are in the corner having existential crises watching investors throw cash at glorified pattern recognition. The bar for "revolutionary technology" has fallen so low you could trip over it while scrolling through TikTok. And yet here we are, watching the money people treat basic AI features like they've discovered fire. PEAK COMEDY.

When Someone Mentions The R-Word
The duality of developers in their natural habitat. The top panel shows the stoic, unimpressed face when someone mentions they built "software" — the programming equivalent of saying "I breathe oxygen." But the bottom panel? Pure primal excitement when someone specifies it's "software written in Rust." Nothing triggers the dopamine receptors of a modern developer quite like hearing about memory safety without garbage collection. The Rust evangelism strike force claims another victim. I'd judge, but my pupils dilate too when someone mentions "zero-cost abstractions."

How About You Shut Up
Congratulations! You've been selected to experience the 47th AI assistant that'll revolutionize your workflow this week! Companies are sprinting to slap "AI" on literally anything with an if-statement while developers are increasingly immune to the hype. We've reached the point where hearing "our revolutionary AI assistant" triggers the same response as getting another LinkedIn message from a recruiter who "noticed your impressive experience." The mute button has never looked so appealing.

Name The Game You Just Couldn't Get Into
The eternal struggle of the contrarian developer! Just like Squidward looking disappointed at that treasure chest, we've all installed some hyped framework or language that everyone raves about, only to stare at our IDE thinking "...this is it?" Whether it's React when you're a Vue person, Rust when you prefer Go, or trying to love TypeScript when you secretly miss the chaos of vanilla JS - that feeling of "am I broken for not enjoying this?" hits hard. The real treasure was the technical debt we accumulated along the way!

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
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.

Stop Doing Vibe Coding
The grumpy tech veteran's manifesto has arrived! This is basically what happens when someone who's written actual production code for a decade watches the latest batch of "I built a startup with no-code tools and vibes" TikToks. The screenshots are pure gold - one poor soul storing passwords in a CSV file (security professionals just felt a disturbance in the force), while another "SaaS founder" is shocked that people are actually using their API in ways they didn't anticipate. Revolutionary! And that emoji-based developer bio at the bottom? Chef's kiss. Nothing says "I definitely know what I'm doing" like introducing yourself with three random tech logos instead of, you know, actual skills. Ten years ago we called these people "script kiddies." Now they're "founders" with 50K Twitter followers explaining why your engineering team is doing it wrong.

HTMX Supremacy Gang
Ah, the eternal tech cycle. A new library emerges and suddenly everyone's ready to toss their 300MB node_modules folder into the trash. HTMX promises the revolutionary concept of *checks notes* using HTML attributes to do AJAX. Meanwhile, React developers who've spent years mastering component lifecycles are quietly updating their résumés while muttering "it's just a phase." The full stack devs are playing both sides so they always come out on top. Classic framework warfare where the only winners are the people writing Medium articles about "Why I Switched From X to Y and Increased Performance by 9000%."
