Either That Or A.I.

Time travelers from 2025 have confirmed what we all suspected: programming is still about writing inefficient code that somehow works anyway. Bill Gates asking what VIBE stands for only to have Linus Torvalds drop the perfect acronym burn is exactly how I imagine tech titans spend their free time. Just two guys with verified checkmarks casually defining the coding ethos that pays all our bills.

Ah, the classic ASCII art burn from the dial-up era! Remember when 16MB of RAM was considered excessive? This meme is throwing shade at Windows for being so bloated that even its simplest game needed ridiculous system requirements. It's the 90s equivalent of saying "Chrome eats RAM for breakfast" but with more retro charm. The ASCII troll face just makes it *chef's kiss* - perfectly capturing that smug feeling when you'd dunk on Windows users while running your lean Linux distro on hardware that belonged in a museum.

The corporate world's dirty little secret: why learn fancy languages when Excel macros will make you the office wizard? Non-IT folks don't care about your elegant Python algorithms—they just want their spreadsheets to stop crashing. VBA might be the programming equivalent of using a hammer to screw in a nail, but damn if it doesn't get you immediate results while the "real programmers" are still setting up their development environments. SQL queries in Access might make database engineers cry, but nothing says job security like being the only person who can make the ancient accounting system spit out quarterly reports.

Microsoft's ambitious plan to nuke every line of C/C++ from their codebase by 2030 using AI is giving major "we'll rewrite it in Rust next quarter" vibes, except with a budget that could buy a small country. The highlighted goals are absolutely wild: eliminate decades of battle-tested code and somehow have 1 engineer rewrite 1 million lines in 1 month. Because nothing says "stable production environment" like AI-generated code at scale, right? The real kicker here is the confidence level. They're building "powerful infrastructure" and "scalable graphs" to accomplish what they themselves call a "previously unimaginable task." Translation: they're throwing AI at a problem that probably doesn't need solving, but hey, it's 2024 and if you're not using AI for everything, are you even a tech company? Can't wait to see the bug reports when AI decides to "optimize" some critical kernel code.

Content It savs here that vou have 18 vears of exerience and have fantastic references, and that you have designed and develobed four rulv reatured broiects that were successfully deployed and generated tens of millions of dollars, you have lead multiple teams, and that you have extensive experience in everything we are looking for - except I don't see React.js here. Have you ever used React? Only for personal projects. It's really just a simple Ul tramework and I am very familiar with it thoug Go fuck yourself! You don't have any professional experience, but it looks like you went to a 3-month coding boot camp. Did they cover React.js? You're hired! Oh veah. I've heard that word before!
