Enshittification Of Software

The AI gold rush has created three distinct species of developers, and none of them are actually writing code anymore. First up: the Prompt Junkie , desperately tweaking their ChatGPT prompts like a gambler convinced the next spin will hit jackpot. "Just one more iteration bro" - famous last words before spending 4 hours prompt engineering what would've taken 20 minutes to code yourself. Then there's Programming in English guy, who's essentially become an AI therapist. You're not coding anymore, you're having philosophical conversations with Claude about edge cases while it hallucinates increasingly elaborate solutions. The irony? You need to understand programming deeply to even know what to ask for. It's like needing a law degree to hire a lawyer. Finally, the Grifter - selling $3000 courses on "AI prompting" to people who think they can skip learning fundamentals. Spoiler alert: if your entire business model is "type sentences into ChatGPT," you're not building a moat, you're building a sandcastle at high tide. The punchline? All three are getting "Paywalled" - because OpenAI's API costs add up faster than AWS bills on a misconfigured Lambda function. Welcome to the future where you pay per token to avoid learning syntax.

You know what's hilarious? We all learned semantic versioning in like week one, nodded along seriously, then proceeded to ship version 2.7.123 because we kept breaking production at 3am and needed to hotfix our hotfixes. That "shame version" number climbing into triple digits? Yeah, that's basically a public counter of how many times you muttered "how did this pass code review" while frantically pushing fixes. The comment "0.1.698" is *chef's kiss* because someone out there really did increment the patch version 698 times. At that point you're not following semver, you're just keeping a tally of your regrets. The real kicker is when your PM asks "when are we going to v1.0?" and you realize you've been in beta for 3 years because committing to a major version feels like admitting you know what you're doing.
