Back In My Day We Actually Engineered

Grandma dev isn't wrong. Modern "software engineering" is often just gluing together 47 npm packages and hoping nothing breaks after the next update. Remember when we actually designed systems instead of just importing half of GitHub? Those were the days when UML diagrams weren't just decorations for PowerPoint presentations and "technical debt" meant more than "I'll fix it later" (narrator: they never did). The old guard remembers when optimization meant squeezing performance out of every byte, not just throwing more AWS instances at the problem.

Hallucination It Is

The modern developer's workflow: copy some hallucinated code from ChatGPT, try to compile it, discover it's complete fiction, then assault the nearest chicken. Tale as old as time (or at least since 2022). What's worse than spending hours debugging non-existent methods? The realization that you trusted an AI that confidently made up syntax while nodding like it knew what it was doing.
