CLAUDE CODE JUST RICKROLLED ME. I'm working on a project where part of it will involve videos, and in building out the project it created a dummy page, with made up content (relevant to me!) with two video links pretending to be something else and BOTH WERE RICKROLLs.

Note: I'm using a broad definition of "programmer" to include HTML generation, and a broad definition of "humor" that includes Rickrolling. Together, I think this is appropriate for c/programmerhumor. Mods, please remove if not correct.

Just a shower thought I had when thinking about claims like "80% of all code will be written by AI"...

Ever wondered who you'd be in a world of swords, magic, and ~~bugs~~ monsters? The quiz says I'm a warrior, what about you guys? Just remember: you can't go alone 'cuz, "You must gather your party before venturing forth!"

Ever get the feeling that modern web dev has become… a bit too complex?

Sometimes I catch myself thinking about the “good old days”. When you could just write some code, compile it, and run it without worrying about all the dependencies, the build tools, the client-side rendering, the server-side rendering, the server components, and all the other buzzwords that are thrown around in the web dev world… just code doing its thing.

And honestly, I think that feeling isn’t totally wrong. Maybe we can make things simpler, faster, more straightforward again.

So naturally… I decided to embrace the future by going back to the past: COBOL.

Here’s my (100% serious, definitely not questionable) migration story.

idk if it is serious or not, but it is what I saw in indeed newsletter today.

Is this where we are heading? /s
