Vc funding Memes

So coding suddenly got 10x easier overnight with AI tools, but somehow we still need the same number of developers? Sure, Jan. The tweet's calling out the elephant in the room: if productivity supposedly skyrocketed thanks to ChatGPT and Copilot, why hasn't anything fundamentally changed in the industry? Either these tools aren't as revolutionary as VCs claim, or companies are just hoarding the efficiency gains while pretending everything's normal. Spoiler alert: it's probably both. The "fake ass industry" comment hits different when you realize we've been through this hype cycle before—remember when low-code platforms were gonna replace us all? Yeah, we're still here writing nested ternaries at 2 AM.

The entire AI economy balancing on the tiny ball of "reasoning LLMs" while desperate developers beg their models to just return valid JSON without screwing up the syntax is painfully real. Six months of development, millions in VC funding, and your entire product crashes because an AI can't remember to close a curly brace. Meanwhile, VCs are throwing cash at anything with "agentic" in the pitch deck. The modern tech equivalent of building a mansion on a toothpick foundation and wondering why it keeps falling over.
