From Ambition To Insecurity: The Startup Speedrun

Every dev has said it: "It's so intuitive, why waste time documenting it?" Fast forward six months, and you're staring at your own code like it's hieroglyphics written by a caffeinated squirrel. That tea bag floating in water is the perfect metaphor - what seems crystal clear to you now becomes a murky, unidentifiable mess for the poor soul (probably future you) who has to figure out what the hell you were thinking. Documentation isn't for today's genius you; it's for tomorrow's confused you who just wants to go home.

OH MY GOD! The absolute TRAGEDY of the Linux enthusiast's social life! 😭 Dad is BEGGING his precious offspring to experience human contact while Junior is over there having a full-blown LOVE AFFAIR with his tiling window manager!

But hey, at least Claude doesn't need health insurance or complain about work-life balance, right? The real kicker is that those fired developers probably would've built a cheaper solution in-house, but someone in a suit decided "AI transformation" sounded better in the quarterly earnings call.

Ah, the prestigious VibeCode Conference, where you can register right now at... localhost. Sure, I'll just hop on over to my own machine to sign up for an event that exists exclusively in my development environment. Nothing says "professional event planning" like forgetting to change the URL from development to production. I guess the only attendees will be 127.0.0.1 and ::1.
