Adult Lego: The Software Engineering Truth

Standing on the shoulders of giants... while pretending you're levitating. The entire software industry is just us importing someone else's npm package, adding three lines of code, and then strutting around like we've invented electricity. Meanwhile, the real heroes who solved P=NP are buried in some GitHub repo with 2 stars. The best part? We all know it, yet tomorrow we'll npm install another solution and feel like technological wizards for implementing a toggle button.

When ChatGPT Is Your Entire Tech Stack

Look at this good boy pretending to be a "programmer" by wearing glasses and sitting in front of chemistry equipment. The modern equivalent of putting on a stethoscope and claiming you're a doctor. Prompt engineering isn't programming, Karen. Asking ChatGPT to build you a website is like asking a golden retriever to perform surgery—sure, they're enthusiastic about helping, but someone else is definitely cleaning up that mess later. The real irony? The dog probably has a better chance of writing functional code than someone whose entire tech stack is "Hey ChatGPT, fix this thing I broke."
