The evolution of the developer brain in reverse. Started as a fully functional human capable of critical thinking, problem-solving, and actually understanding what the code does. Then discovered AI coding assistants and thought "why think when robot do trick?" Fast forward a few months of letting ChatGPT write everything, and now you're sitting there with the cognitive capacity of a shriveled peanut, unable to remember basic syntax or how a for-loop works without asking your silicon overlord. The really fun part is when the AI hallucinates some completely broken code and you just stare at it like "seems legit" because you've outsourced your ability to spot obvious bugs. Stack Overflow is crying in the corner.
