In Rust You Actually Move It

Look, I've been around long enough to know that AI replacing programmers is the tech equivalent of "flying cars by 2020." But Stack Overflow? Yeah, that's actually happening. Why spend 20 minutes waiting for some moderator to mark your question as duplicate when ChatGPT will just... answer it? Wrong sometimes, sure, but at least it won't roast you for not including your environment details. Stack Overflow traffic has genuinely tanked since LLMs became mainstream. Turns out people prefer a hallucinating AI that's nice to them over a correct human who makes them feel like an idiot. Can't say I blame them.

The SpongeBob meme perfectly encapsulates that moment when junior devs worship the mythical "senior developers" from afar. Just like SpongeBob gazing longingly at the Krabby Patty sign, junior programmers idolize these legendary beings who somehow fix production bugs with a single line of code and understand the codebase that no one has documented since 2012. Meanwhile, actual senior devs are probably just Stack Overflow ninjas who've memorized which answers to skip and have a folder of pre-written apologetic emails for when things inevitably break. The sacred knowledge isn't magic—it's just years of making the same mistakes and developing an uncanny ability to Google the right error message.

The perfect startup recipe: one person who can't write a for-loop without StackOverflow and another who thinks SEO means "Some Extra Options." Yet somehow, when these two shake hands, venture capitalists throw money at them faster than developers abandon jQuery. After 15 years in tech, I've watched this exact scenario play out dozens of times. The codebase is held together with npm packages and prayers, the marketing strategy is "go viral," and yet they're valued at $50M pre-revenue. Meanwhile, I'm debugging production issues at 10pm for a company that actually makes money.
