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

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%."

Say "Build Your App In Seconds" One More Time
When every single AI tool bombards you with the same "What do you want to build today?" prompt for the 47th time. Sure, I'll build a blockchain-based social network for cats with AR integration in 0.2 seconds! The rage is real when these no-code platforms promise to turn your napkin sketch into a production-ready app while actual developers are busy fighting dependency hell and merge conflicts. That "build your app in seconds" promise hits different after spending 3 hours configuring webpack.

I Wonder What The Next Fad We Hate On Will Be
The tech world's circle of hate continues! First, we collectively decided Vibecoding was the enemy - you know, that annoying "just vibe with the code" approach where documentation is optional and chaos is encouraged. But wait! Look at that 3251 error code getting violently stabbed in the last panel - that's tomorrow's villain waiting to be despised. Every six months we need something new to blame for our suffering. Remember when we hated jQuery? Then MongoDB? Then microservices? Then blockchain? The cycle never ends because it's easier to hate the latest framework than admit we're building increasingly complex solutions to problems we created with our previous "revolutionary" approach.

The AI Popularity Contest
The ABSOLUTE STATE of the AI industry right now! 💀 Everyone and their grandmother is lined up to worship at the altar of OpenAI and Gemini while that poor lonely soul with an actual AI startup and millions in funding sits there abandoned like the last potato chip at a party. The tech bros have spoken - if you're not backed by Silicon Valley royalty, you might as well be invisible! The crowd has made their choice and it's clearer than a syntax error on line 1. Fame trumps function, darling! That's not just capitalism, that's capitalism with ✨extra drama✨!

Rust Is Blazingly Fast (And We Won't Shut Up About It)
Nobody cares what language your backend is written in. They only care if it's fast. Yet every Rust developer seems physically incapable of describing their code without using the phrase "blazingly fast" at least 47 times per conversation. The cult-like obsession with Rust's performance is matched only by the collective eye-rolling of everyone forced to listen to another sermon about zero-cost abstractions and memory safety.

Too Afraid To Ask About LLM Benchmarks
The AI benchmarking cult strikes again! Everyone's obsessed with those radar charts comparing Large Language Models using some bizarre "ball turning test" metric that nobody actually understands. It's just a bunch of geometric shapes that supposedly prove one model is better than another. The joke here is that these comparison charts have become so ubiquitous in AI discussions that even though they're practically meaningless to most developers, everyone nods along pretending to understand what they're looking at. Classic tech impostor syndrome - nobody wants to be the one to ask "what the heck does this actually measure?"

The AI Prophet: No Knowledge Required
Behold, the tech prophet who ascended to startup glory without understanding a single line of code! The AI startup ecosystem in 2023 is basically just throwing bearded men in togas at venture capitalists. "What's your tech stack?" "Uhhh... vibes?" Meanwhile, actual engineers who've spent decades learning complex algorithms are watching these AI-whisperers raise millions while not knowing GPT from a hole in the ground. Silicon Valley's newest business model: look wise, say "disruption" occasionally, and let the funding rain down upon your magnificent beard. The ancient Greeks had oracles, we have AI founders who let the machines do all the thinking.

Ninety-Five Percent AI Generated
Ah, the startup world's latest religion: AI-generated code. This guy wants engineers "maxing out Cursor requests" like they're collecting Pokemon cards. Because nothing says "innovative startup" like having machines write 95% of your codebase while engineers sit around becoming "vibe coders." Next week's LinkedIn post: "If your developers are still typing code manually, you might as well be using stone tablets and chisels." Meanwhile, the engineers who actually understand their systems are quietly updating their resumes.

AI Funding Needs To Stop

AI Funding Needs To Stop
Just what we needed - startups promising to swap our heads like Lego pieces, but can't deliver until "within a decade." Classic tech vaporware with a side of body horror! They'll probably ship the beta with known bugs like "occasional neck disconnection" and "consciousness randomly migrates to the cloud." Meanwhile, their pitch deck shows a 500% growth projection based entirely on VC partners who want spare bodies for when they burn out their current ones. The finest example of "we were so preoccupied with whether we could, we didn't stop to think if we should" since cryptocurrency-powered toasters.

What A Legend: Burning Millions On AI Nowhere
The corporate AI fever in a single frame! That dad just burned through millions on generative AI "proof-of-concepts" that will forever remain in the graveyard of tech demos. The son's sarcastic "What a legend" is peak engineering cynicism—he already knows these projects are the software equivalent of buying a treadmill that becomes a clothes hanger. Meanwhile, every ML engineer is nodding furiously because they've watched executives throw cash at half-baked AI ideas with the ROI strategy of "figure it out later." The real production environment was the friends we made along the way!

Is "AI" A Buzzword?

Is "AI" A Buzzword?
The background is literally screaming "AI AI AI AI" while the foreground shows the letters "AI" in giant orange font. It's like when your product manager asks "Can we add AI to this?" and your codebase is just a glorified if-statement. The confused expression perfectly captures that moment when someone asks if you're using "real AI" in your project and you're mentally calculating whether your nested conditional statements count as machine learning. Bonus points if you've ever renamed a variable to "ai_something" just to satisfy stakeholders.
