Death comes for us all, but even the Grim Reaper has standards. "Leave NOTHING unfinished" isn't just a threat—it's a cosmic punishment for developers who skip documentation. The true horror isn't dying—it's being forced to spend eternity writing docs for all those "we'll document it later" functions that somehow shipped to production. That commit message with "///To Be Written" might as well be your tombstone.

Someone just learned how to add "act as an expert" to their ChatGPT prompts and suddenly thinks they've transcended human knowledge. The hubris is real. The first tweet is genuinely asking why Wikipedia exists when ChatGPT can just... make stuff up with confidence? Because nothing says "reliable information" like a large language model that occasionally hallucinates entire programming languages and historical events. Sure, let's replace peer-reviewed, sourced articles with probabilistic token generation. What could go wrong? The reply absolutely murders them with a Wall-E reference—comparing them to the humans who got so dependent on technology they literally became floating blobs in chairs. Brutal. Accurate. Chef's kiss. 💋 The irony? These are the same devs who will spend 3 hours debugging why their AI-generated code doesn't work instead of reading the docs for 5 minutes. Wikipedia isn't going anywhere, buddy.
