Best Advice For Every Programmer

The universal law of programming nobody teaches in CS degrees: "If it works, don't touch it." That moment when your janky code with 17 nested if-statements and zero comments somehow passes all tests, and you back away from the keyboard like you're defusing a bomb. The code is held together by digital duct tape and prayers, but hey—ship it! Future you can deal with that technical debt... or better yet, whoever inherits your codebase after you've conveniently switched teams.

When Vibes Replace Variables

DARLING, I'VE SEEN THINGS. Hiring managers SCREAMING into the void as Gen Z candidates list "vibe coding" right next to JavaScript and Python! The absolute AUDACITY! It's like claiming you're fluent in "good energy" or have 5 years experience in "manifesting algorithms." Honey, the only vibes in coding are the vibrations of my keyboard as I frantically debug at 2AM while questioning my life choices. Your positive energy won't fix that null pointer exception, sweetie! 💅

Get Perceived Gen AI Value

The classic Schrodinger's AI paradox! That metronome perfectly captures the bipolar relationship developers have with generative AI. One minute you're watching it hallucinate that Python has a print_slowly() function, the next it's writing a perfectly optimized algorithm you couldn't dream up in a week of Red Bull-fueled coding sessions. The cognitive dissonance is real - simultaneously believing it's both useless garbage AND the technology that's going to automate us all into unemployment. The needle just violently swings between "why did I prompt this thing for 20 minutes when I could've coded it myself in 5?" and "holy recursive function Batman, it just solved my impossible edge case!"
