Why Everything Is Devs Problem

The three stages of a developer's evolution: happy-go-lucky naivety when writing any code, mild concern when considering maintainability, and finally reaching god-tier enlightenment when writing code someone else has to maintain. Nothing quite says "I've transcended mortality" like crafting a labyrinth of nested callbacks with zero comments that some poor soul will inherit after you've moved on to greener pastures. It's not sabotage—it's job security!

Standing at the crossroads of decision, a developer faces the harsh truth about AI-generated code. GPT-5 promised the architectural equivalent of the Sistine Chapel but delivered a beautiful disaster instead. The elegantly refactored codebase looks magnificent on paper—all shiny patterns and clever abstractions—but runs with the grace of a three-legged elephant. It's the coding equivalent of building a Ferrari with cardboard parts. Stunning to look at, completely useless in practice. Yet we keep coming back for more punishment, don't we? Because deep down, we're all suckers for beautiful code, even when it spectacularly fails to compile.

That's what happens when you push untested code on Friday at 4:59 PM with a commit message "it works on my machine." The skeleton isn't a metaphor - it's literally the remains of the last developer who thought hotfixing production was a personality trait. The business calls it "moving fast and breaking things," but the on-call engineer calls it "why I drink."

When your "secure" one-factor authentication system literally displays the verification code in the same message asking for it. Nothing says "Fort Knox of cybersecurity" like putting the answer key right above the test! The person who implemented this probably also uses "password123" and thinks incognito mode is military-grade encryption. Security teams worldwide just collectively facepalmed so hard they broke their mechanical keyboards.
