Well, They Should!

The classic bait-and-switch of AI development! First panel: "I love being an AI driven developer" sounds impressive—you're at the cutting edge of tech, working with sophisticated neural networks and machine learning algorithms. Second panel: "I get to work with models all day"... and there's the punchline. It's not about elegant mathematical models or groundbreaking algorithms—it's just endless prompt engineering, debugging hallucinations, and begging ChatGPT to format your JSON correctly for the 47th time today. The facepalm says it all. We've gone from writing code to writing increasingly desperate pleas to language models.

When stakeholders show up to meetings but their brains don't. Someone's asking about a checkbox that's been in the software for 11 YEARS as if it just appeared yesterday. This is the same energy as those people who file urgent tickets about "new bugs" that have been documented since the Clinton administration. The thumbs up reaction is from the developer who's been maintaining that checkbox since they were in college and is now contemplating a career in goat farming.

Ah, the classic Windows fullscreen trap. Open a new window, suddenly your entire screen is consumed like a black hole swallowing a star system. Then comes the frantic mouse-to-corner ritual we all perform like ancient tech shamans. And just when you think you've escaped... you realize you just closed an unsaved document that contained the only copy of your 10,000-word thesis. Windows: turning casual computing into extreme sports since 1985.

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of us developers choosing print statements over actual debuggers! 💅 Look, sweetie, we KNOW there's a sophisticated debugger RIGHT THERE with breakpoints and variable inspection and all that fancy jazz. But will we use it? ABSOLUTELY NOT! We'd rather litter our code with 500 print statements like "HERE1", "HERE2", "WHYYYYYY", and "KILL ME NOW" because apparently we're all masochists with PhDs in self-sabotage! And don't even get me started on the rush of dopamine when you find the bug through your chaotic print statement strategy. It's like winning the lottery while simultaneously setting your career on fire! ✨
