Automation Is Good... Until You Do The Math

Ah, the classic automation paradox! The distinguished frog gentleman has discovered what every developer eventually learns the hard way: spending 8 hours automating a 10-minute task that you'll only do once a month isn't exactly the time-saving breakthrough you thought it would be. But did that stop any of us? Absolutely not. We'll automate our coffee brewing process even if it takes three weeks of development and a GitHub repo with 47 stars. It's not about efficiency—it's about avoiding the soul-crushing monotony of repetitive tasks... and having something cool to show off during standup.

It Allegedly Gives You Hairy Palms

Vibe coding is the developer equivalent of eating dessert first and wondering why dinner tastes bland. Sure, you get that dopamine hit watching your code "just work" without understanding why, but then production breaks at 2 PM on a Friday and you're staring at your own code like it's written in ancient Sumerian. The real kicker? You can't even explain what you did to your teammates during code review. "Yeah, so I just... vibed with it until the tests passed" doesn't exactly inspire confidence. It's the programming equivalent of that thing your parents warned you about—feels great in the moment, leaves you with regret and a codebase no one wants to touch. We've all been there though. Sometimes you just copy-paste from Stack Overflow, change three variable names, and call it a day. The shame is real, but so is the deadline.
