When Your AI Reviewer Takes "Child.kill()" A Bit Too Literally

The modern tech interview process in a nutshell! When asked what makes someone a Senior Dev, the candidate proudly lists their credentials: "4 years installing npm packages" and "3 years installing pip packages." Basically their entire skill set is copying and pasting npm install and pip install commands from Stack Overflow. And somehow that's enough to get hired! The hiring bar has officially reached rock bottom. Next up: Senior AI Engineer with 10 years experience in "pressing Enter after pasting prompts."

Content V 14 Ok this is really funny, check this out. I was in the process of booking a flight via OneTravel. Trying to make me book ASAP, they claimed: "38 people are looking at this flight". Whoa, 38 is a lot, I have to hurry up. But first I have to check how they came up with 38 38 people are looking at this flight.

Poor HTML, squeezed between actual programming languages like a cat between loaves of bread! It's the classic "one of these things is not like the others" situation. While Python, Java, C++, PHP, and C# are busy compiling and executing, HTML is just sitting there... marking up text and looking cute. No functions, no loops, no variables—just tags and more tags. It's like bringing a spoon to a knife fight and wondering why everyone's laughing. The cozy smile says it all: blissfully unaware it's not a programming language but still happy to be included in the dev conversation. Bless its heart for trying!

Behold, the "ML Engineer" who discovered that Python sorts strings alphabetically instead of numerically! The horror! Next breaking news: water is wet. What we're witnessing here is the classic "I didn't read the docs but it's definitely the language's fault" syndrome. Python's sorted() is working perfectly—it's sorting ["9%", "83%", "25%"] as strings, exactly as it should when you give it strings. Pro tip for our aspiring "ML Engineer": try sorted([int(x.strip('%')) for x in a]) next time. Or maybe stick to Excel?

I'm teaching him to code python and left him alone to solve a problem. me: "Son, that feeling you had never goes away for as long as you code". This is why programmers love to code. 91 Isaac Is Laughing imosquera 2m update he's now yelling "IT'S NOT WORKING NOW, THIS MAKES NO SENSE!!!" me: "Son, this feeling also never goes away for as long as you code."

So you're trying to be a good developer and use type hints in Python. You even ask ChatGPT for help because, hey, why not? It shows you this beautiful dataclass example with Dict[str, int] as a type hint for your stats field. Looks professional, looks clean, you copy it. Then you actually try to use it and Python just stares at you like "what the hell is this?" Because—plot twist—you can't use Dict from the typing module as the actual type for field(default_factory=dict) . That needs a real dict , not a type hint. The type hint is just for show—it doesn't actually create the object. It's like ordering a picture of a burger and wondering why you're still hungry. Type hints are documentation, not implementation. ChatGPT casually forgot to mention that tiny detail, and now you're debugging why your "correct" code is throwing errors. Classic AI confidence meets Python's pedantic reality.
