The Original Tech Support Trick From 1983

Ah, the mythical "50-60k lines of AI-generated Python code" beast in the wild! This person has created the software engineering equivalent of Frankenstein's monster and is now realizing that lightning strikes alone can't debug recursive dependency loops. The real comedy is that they've spent months in a "debugging ditch" but still think hiring a human developer is just about "tidying up." That's like saying you need a surgeon to "put a little bandaid" on your self-performed heart transplant. Any developer who takes this job is going to need hazmat gear to wade through 60,000 lines of hallucinated imports and nonsensical variable names. The cleanup bill might exceed the GDP of a small nation!

The generational divide in tech has never been more savage! Old-timer dev with his magnificent beard is schooling these youngsters about the ancient art of coding without AI assistance. “ChatGPT? When I was your age I had to write my own code” hits different in 2024 when half of us are just prompt engineers now. It's like bragging about churning your own butter or hunting woolly mammoths. The irony? That senior probably copy-pasted from StackOverflow anyway. The tech cycle continues—today's juniors will someday lecture about the primitive days of having to type prompts instead of just thinking them.
