When AI Promises To Fix Your Spaghetti Code

Content Lito STACK OVERFLOW FOR ThIS DEGREE

Content Scott Hanselman shanselman 22h Life hack that I'm deeply ashamed of but also is too useful to keep to myself. Greasy chip fingers messing up your expensive laptop? Type from inside the bag. I apologize.

Look into this little light, and you'll forget all about those 3 weeks of work you just committed to the wrong branch. git reset --hard is basically the neuralyzer of the programming world – one flash and *poof* – your code history is wiped cleaner than your browser history when your boss walks by. Sure, you could've used a softer reset or stashed your changes, but where's the thrill in that? Nothing says "I live dangerously" quite like nuclear code obliteration with no backup plan.

The first three panels show organs doing their literal biological functions: lungs breathing, heart pumping blood, liver filtering waste. Then the brain, instead of saying something like "I process information for you," just suggests rerunning the code because "the bugs will be fixed." It's the perfect representation of every developer's false hope that somehow, magically, running the exact same code again will fix the bugs that were there the first 37 times. No changes, no debugging, just blind faith in the cosmic forces of computing that maybe this time it'll work!

Ah, the sweet taste of accidental technical credibility. Nothing says "I'm a real developer" quite like having ChatGPT write HTML for you while someone peeks at your screen. The crying emoji is just chef's kiss perfect—that moment when you realize you've accidentally joined a club you have no qualifications for. Welcome to modern tech, where the line between "knowing what you're doing" and "knowing how to prompt an AI" gets blurrier by the day. The nonprofit coordinator is living the dream we're all secretly afraid of—being exposed as the impostors we feel like.
