Programmers In The Future

THE AUDACITY OF OUR ANCESTORS! 8000 years in the future and we're STILL cleaning up their 4-digit year mess?! 💀 First it was Y2K, now it's Y10K, because apparently storing years as "9999" seemed like SUCH a brilliant idea. The entire galaxy is running on legacy code written by caffeine-addicted devs who couldn't imagine humanity surviving this long! Now we've got to update TRILLIONS of systems while aliens are probably laughing at us. "Most advanced species in the universe" my keyboard! History's greatest tragedy isn't war or famine—it's inadequate date formatting!

So Who Is Sending Patches Now

Random Twitter user: "Your codebase is a mess." FFmpeg (written in C and assembly): "Talk is cheap, send patches." The ultimate open-source mic drop. Nothing says "put up or shut up" quite like challenging critics to actually contribute to a notoriously complex codebase that even seasoned developers approach with caution. It's the programming equivalent of saying "I'd like to see you try" while sipping tea with your pinky out.

Vibe Coding: The Next Billion-Dollar Breakthrough

Look at these monkeys banging away at keyboards while the suits stand there thinking they've found the secret to software success! ABSOLUTE MADNESS! The infinite monkey theorem meets Silicon Valley's desperate search for the next unicorn. Just throw enough primates at a problem and SURELY one of them will accidentally code the next Facebook! Because that's TOTALLY how programming works! Meanwhile, venture capitalists are ready to throw billions at whatever gibberish compiles first. The modern tech industry in its purest form!
