The golden age of programming tutorials had people casually dropping "let's build a game engine from scratch" like it was a weekend project. Now? We're celebrating the monumental achievement of... configuring VS Code with the right color theme and extensions. The devolution is real. Back then, tutorials assumed you had a PhD in computer science and three lifetimes of free time. "Part 1 of 47: Implementing our custom memory allocator" was considered beginner-friendly. Today's tutorials are like "Step 1: Install Node. Step 2: Cry because of dependency conflicts. Step 3: There is no Step 3, you're still on Step 2." The shift reflects how the barrier to entry has lowered (good!) but also how we've become more focused on tooling than fundamentals (questionable!). Though to be fair, getting your IDE setup properly in 2024 with all the linters, formatters, and extensions IS basically rocket science.

Someone just learned how to add "act as an expert" to their ChatGPT prompts and suddenly thinks they've transcended human knowledge. The hubris is real. The first tweet is genuinely asking why Wikipedia exists when ChatGPT can just... make stuff up with confidence? Because nothing says "reliable information" like a large language model that occasionally hallucinates entire programming languages and historical events. Sure, let's replace peer-reviewed, sourced articles with probabilistic token generation. What could go wrong? The reply absolutely murders them with a Wall-E reference—comparing them to the humans who got so dependent on technology they literally became floating blobs in chairs. Brutal. Accurate. Chef's kiss. 💋 The irony? These are the same devs who will spend 3 hours debugging why their AI-generated code doesn't work instead of reading the docs for 5 minutes. Wikipedia isn't going anywhere, buddy.
