When "Developer" Means Two Different Things

Two developers discussing test automation. One says "automate the test cases, exactly as they are written, and only use this dataset." The other nods along until the final panel where they reveal their true plan: "automate the test cases by changing everything the way I see fit and use made up data." That feeling when your coworker agrees to follow the test plan but then goes rogue with their own interpretation. And we wonder why the QA team drinks so heavily.

When someone asks "what's a rectangle?", normal people just see a simple shape. Mathematicians bust out the formal definition with diagonals, breadth, and length measurements like they're preparing for a calculus final. And then there's us software engineers... two dots. That's it. Two points in a coordinate system and we've got ourselves a rectangle. Why waste time with fancy explanations when we can just define it with the bare minimum required to render something on screen? Seven years of education just to represent objects as efficiently as possible. This is what optimization looks like in the wild, folks.

The one thing AI can do that humans can't: admit they're wrong without having an existential crisis first. After 15 years in tech, I've seen senior devs argue for hours defending broken code rather than just say "oops, my bad." Meanwhile, AI is over here like "You caught me! Let me fix that!" with zero ego damage. Maybe the real singularity isn't when machines get smarter than us, but when they get more emotionally mature.
