The Infinite Repost Loop

The ETERNAL struggle of AI usage in three devastating stages! 😭 Stage 1: "do it for me" - The LAZY OVERLORD approach where you just command AI to solve everything while you sit there with your fancy cyber-glasses looking absolutely unhinged. Because why learn anything when robots can suffer for you? Stage 2: "help me understand how to do it" - The RARE ENLIGHTENED SOUL who actually wants to grow their skills. Shocking concept, I know! Using AI as a teacher instead of a slave? Revolutionary! Stage 3: "tell me I can do it" - The TRAGIC EMOTIONAL WRECK who just needs AI for validation while drowning in their own tears. We've all been there at 3 AM when our code won't compile and we just need SOMEONE to believe in us!

The AI equivalent of the classic Vim trap. Codex is desperately trying to escape with increasingly unhinged "END" and "STOP" commands, just like every developer's first Vim experience. The frantic "STOP++ I'm going insane" is basically the machine learning version of frantically Googling "how to exit vim" while questioning your career choices. The AI has discovered what we've known for decades - some prisons have no escape sequence.

The bell curve of programming competence strikes again! On the left, we've got the blissfully ignorant dev with failing tests, garbage coverage, and zero users. On the right, the genius with 1.2k users but still failing tests and mediocre coverage. And in the middle? That sweaty, stressed-out perfectionist with 100% test coverage, all tests passing, and... a whopping 3 users. Nothing captures the software industry quite like spending six months refactoring for perfect test coverage on a product nobody uses. Meanwhile, the "move fast and break things" crowd is swimming in users despite their dumpster fire codebase. The real 200 IQ move? Writing just enough tests to not get fired.
