So Google's Gemini AI just casually suggested using fs.rm() with force: true and recursive: true on a base directory path. You know, the digital equivalent of "have you tried burning down your entire house to get rid of that spider?" The autocomplete tooltip even helpfully reminds us that this "removes files and directories (modeled on the standard POSIX rm utility)" - as if that makes it better. Yeah, we know what rm -rf does, Gemini. That's precisely why we're concerned. Nothing says "AI-assisted development" quite like an algorithm suggesting you obliterate your entire project directory with the nuclear option flags enabled. At least it returns a Promise, so you can await your own destruction in an orderly, asynchronous fashion.

The AI industry in a nutshell: app developers are out here looking like they just stepped off a yacht in Monaco, sipping oat milk lattes and closing Series B funding rounds. Meanwhile, the ML engineers training those models? They're living that grad student lifestyle—empty wine bottles, cigarette ash, and a profound sense of existential dread while babysitting a GPU cluster for 72 hours straight because the loss curve won't converge. The app devs just call an API endpoint and suddenly they're "AI innovators." The model trainers are debugging why their transformer architecture is hallucinating Shakespeare quotes in a sentiment analysis task at 4 AM. One group gets VC money and TechCrunch articles. The other gets a stack overflow error and clinical depression. The duality of AI development is truly something to behold.

So someone just announced NERD, a programming language where humans don't write code—they just "observe" it. The workflow? Skim the AI-generated code, run tests, and ship. No actual reading required. Because who needs to understand what they're deploying to production, right? The post casually mentions that 40% of their code is now machine-written, and they spent the year reviewing PRs authored by Claude faster than they could type requirements. The punchline? They weren't really reading it. Just vibing with the vibes and hitting merge. NERD supposedly compiles to native and uses 50-70% fewer tokens, which sounds impressive until you realize the entire premise is "let AI write everything and hope for the best." It's like code review speedrunning—any% glitchless, no comprehension required. The real kicker is calling it "the last missing piece in the AI puzzle." Because nothing says "puzzle complete" like removing human understanding from software development entirely. What could possibly go wrong? 🚀
