Finding yourself so repulsed by the codebase that you just let the LLM do whatever it wants

"One morning it hit me: I was downloading an operating system's worth of code to basically use f-strings. What had I become?"

~ Jeff, Software Developer

"I was obsessed. My daughter was born around that time; I hope when my little girl LangSusan grows up, she will understand."

~ Sarah, VC Partner

"Three weeks ago, we sent our lead engineer Dave into the codebase to try and find a parsing error. We will all miss you, Dave."

~ Mike, Full Stack Developer

"I signed off on funds for a simple chatbot. Now we've had to raise another funding round just to cover the storage and compute costs."

~ Lisa, CFO

"I am pretty sure the release we pinned has our k8s cluster mining crypto for some guy in Tibet."

~ Sumar, Data Engineer

"I wake up in the night screaming sometimes; I am haunted by visions of breaking-change minor versions and I don't know if I will ever be whole again."

~ Lorgen, AI Engineer
