Inherit Tense: When Family Trees Meet Inheritance Trees

The Vim escape ritual—where senior devs casually drop the ":q!" bomb like it's nothing while junior devs watch in horror. That command is basically the developer equivalent of walking away from an explosion without looking back. No saving, no mercy, just pure chaotic energy. The juniors sit there wondering if this person has no fear of losing work or if they've ascended to some higher plane of existence where code is temporary but swagger is forever.

The railroad tracks of progress have certainly gotten more complex! On the left, we have the traditional straight-line coding path—simple, predictable, and takes you 5 hours to reach a single destination. On the right, the AI-assisted coding multiverse with infinite possibilities, chaotic intersections, and enough track switches to give a train conductor an existential crisis. Sure, you'll build your app in 5 minutes with AI, but then spend the next 4 hours and 55 minutes figuring out which of the 47 different generated solutions actually works without summoning digital Cthulhu to your codebase. The real question: are we moving faster or just creating more impressive train wrecks?

Rookie developers making that sharp exit from actually learning to code straight into the "programming is sooooo hard" meme factory. Why debug your semicolon error when you can create a viral post about it instead? The classic beginner's dilemma: face the syntax error or farm internet points with a "my code won't compile" screenshot. Nothing says "I'm a real developer" like complaining about programming before you've written a function that actually works.
