Well When You Put It That Way…
The beautiful irony of tech economics: dropping $400 on 32GB of RAM feels completely justified when you're pulling in modern developer wages, but in the 90s when RAM cost about the same and you were making $5/hour flipping burgers? That was basically financial suicide. The real kicker is that $400 in 1990s money had way more purchasing power than today—that's like $800+ in 2026 dollars. So technically, RAM has gotten cheaper AND we're getting paid way more. The weak doge perfectly captures that "wait, maybe I shouldn't complain about my cushy tech job" realization when you remember your parents somehow survived on pennies while technology cost a fortune. Also fun fact: 16MB of RAM in 1995 could run you $500+, so we're literally living in the golden age of affordable memory while complaining about Electron apps eating 2GB like it's nothing.

When Non-Developers Predict The Death Of Programming
The ultimate Twitter thread showdown between AI doomers and actual software engineers! Someone claims junior devs earning $145K are obsolete because a $200/month ChatGPT agent could replace them. Then a real developer steps in with the cold, hard truth: AI still hallucinates features, needs constant supervision, and can't replace human judgment. The punchline? The doom-preaching critic admits they've never actually built anything themselves! Classic armchair expert syndrome - proclaiming the death of an entire profession while having zero practical experience. That thumbs-up at the end is peak chef's-kiss irony.
