The Brutal Truth About Full Stack Developers

The eternal interrogation room of software development. One developer asking about "future refactoring" is basically code for "we know this is terrible but we're shipping it anyway." It's that awkward moment when everyone silently acknowledges the technical debt being created, but nobody wants to be the one to delay the sprint. The code smells so bad it needs an interrogation room to confess its crimes, but hey—we'll fix it "next sprint" (narrator: they never did).

Windows 11 shows up with a novel novel-length list of requirements that would make NASA blush, while Linux just sits there with its cute penguin face basically saying "Got electricity? Cool, we're good to go." After 20+ years in tech, I've seen Microsoft turn simple OS upgrades into hardware shopping sprees more times than I care to count. Meanwhile, Linux is over there running on everything from supercomputers to your abandoned toaster. The "optional" electricity bit is just *chef's kiss*.

Ah, the classic corporate dilemma: "We need more engineers!" *proceeds to post job listings* while simultaneously a headline announces an AI that can supposedly replace them. The irony is delicious. Companies are still desperately hiring humans while breathlessly hyping the AI that will make us obsolete. Fifteen years in this industry and I've seen this movie before—neural networks, blockchain, quantum computing—all going to revolutionize everything... until they don't. Meanwhile, some poor hiring manager is still trying to find a senior dev with 10 years experience in a 3-year-old framework for entry-level pay. The circle of tech life continues.

Started coding a "simple hash function" and GitHub Copilot went full existential crisis mode. Started reasonable with "not cryptographically secure, but fast" then spiraled into "not guaranteed to be stable across different phases of the moon" and "different parallel universes." This is what happens when your AI assistant has seen one too many 3 AM debugging sessions. Somewhere in Silicon Valley, a neural network is clearly having PTSD flashbacks from training on StackOverflow comments.
