The Day It Hit

Content Python Developers sending HTTP Requests, writing Web Scrapers and Training ML Models with under 10 lines of code C Programmers: (confused unga bunga)

Paul Graham is out here preaching about programmers "surfing the AI wave" while the rest of us are DROWNING in reality! 💀 The meme shows what we're ACTUALLY dealing with - pathetically running basic Python repos while crypto bros are generating worthless tokens. Honey, that's not surfing the AI revolution, that's barely doggy-paddling in the kiddie pool! The gap between tech influencer fantasies and our miserable coding reality is wider than my coffee intake on a Monday morning. The AI tsunami isn't coming - we can't even handle the splash from a garden hose!

Boolean questions should return TRUE or FALSE. That's it. No debate. No explanation. Just binary logic. But then there's that one colleague who responds with "Well, it depends..." and proceeds to write a novel-length string response that could've been a simple yes/no. The worst part? You're still parsing their answer three coffee refills later, trying to figure out if they meant true or false. It's like asking "Is this variable null?" and getting back the entire Git commit history since 2015.
