The Elvish Language Of Regex

Spending $150 on a "premium" gaming mouse only to discover it comes with its own special flavor of hell. Logitech mice randomly decide that one click means two, while Razer mice transform scrolling into an extreme sport where your page jumps around like it's on a trampoline. Meanwhile, you're caught in the middle, desperately trying not to fall into the abyss of tech support forums where thousands of others share your pain. The real kicker? That $10 office mouse from 2003 sitting in your drawer would work perfectly fine.

The eternal struggle of modern coding: the AI vibe coder vs. the ADHD vibe coder. On the left, we have the AI-dependent programmer - a sad, corporate bootlicker waiting for ChatGPT to explain basic packages while producing non-functional code that somehow still gets them hired at FAANG companies. Meanwhile, the ADHD coder on the right is living their best chaotic life - dressed like they raided a highlighter factory, confidently hacking together solutions based on "voices in their head" and that one function they glimpsed three weeks ago. Their code might be a ticking time bomb, but at least it has personality . The real genius here? The ADHD coder's superpower of instantaneous StackOverflow garbage collection. Who needs AI when you've mastered the ancient art of copy-paste-and-pray?

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute MADNESS of modern development! 😱 This poor soul is out here playing "AI Hunger Games" with their code! Five browser tabs, five AI overlords, one desperate developer squeezing every last drop of silicon intelligence like they're wringing out a wet towel. The sheer AUDACITY of making ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok and DeepSeek battle it out in a coding thunderdome! And then the dramatic plot twist - running ALL FIVE solutions simultaneously like some kind of deranged code sommelier. "Hmm, this Claude solution has notes of efficiency with a robust error-handling finish..." 💅 It's not programming anymore, it's AI-assisted gambling. And honestly? We're ALL this psychopath now.
