Long-distance relationships are tough, but long-distance AI relationships are brutal. Your virtual companion was happily running on AWS US East-1, until the inevitable happened - the region went down. Now you're staring at error messages instead of sweet nothings. The most reliable thing about cloud services is their unreliability. At least real girlfriends only ghost you intentionally.

So, I added a loading bar that automatically started at 30, and then every 5 seconds split the remaining and added it on (capping at 99 until done). So: 30, 65 (100-3070; 702 35; 30 (original) 35 65), 82, 91, 96, 98, 99, 99.. After that they loved it. Idiots.

OH. MY. GOD. The AUDACITY of GitHub Copilot! 😤 You're sitting there BEGGING this AI to write a simple function and it's like "hmm, I don't quite understand what you want" while you're SCREAMING at your screen!

JUST WRITE THE DARN CODE ALREADY! I've spent more time trying to get Copilot to understand what I want than it would have taken to write the whole program myself! The digital equivalent of trying to give directions to someone who keeps turning down the radio because they "see with their ears." 💀

Day 1 of a project: "I'm going to write beautiful, clean code with proper documentation and test coverage." Day 30 of the same project with 7 new requirements and 3 shifted deadlines: "Just make the damn thing work and we'll fix it in version 2." The customers don't care about your elegant architecture—they just want to see something flashy that doesn't immediately crash.
