The Four Horsemen Of Developer Perspective

Ah, the evolution of debugging assistance. In 2019, you'd explain your problem to a rubber duck (a legitimate debugging technique where explaining your code aloud helps you spot the error). The duck just sits there, judging you silently while you ramble about line 43. Fast forward to 2025: Now you just bark "FIX THE ERROR" at ChatGPT, Claude, or whatever AI overlord is running your IDE. No need to understand the problem anymore - just demand a solution and watch as the machines do what took us mere mortals hours of Stack Overflow scrolling. The real error was thinking we'd still be doing our own debugging.

OMG, the ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY of modern development! 😭 Left side: that magical moment when ChatGPT hands you the PERFECT solution on a silver platter (or orange, in this case). Right side: the rest of us programmers, DESPERATELY grabbing at that same solution like we've discovered the last chocolate bar on earth! The sheer DRAMA of it all! We're all just monkeys fighting over the same StackOverflow answers that ChatGPT regurgitates with confidence, while we're over here having existential crises about whether we even remember how to write a for-loop without AI assistance! The circle of developer life is now complete - from stealing code to having code stolen from us by our AI overlords!
