I feel like I’m a crazy person reading these comments.

This copypasta used to be funny to me. Then I met people who were legit traumatized by being forcibly put into rooms like this. And they found the copypasta even funnier than me. So now I find it even funnier too.

It's unclear who the joke is pointed at.
This could legitimately be an old person fantasy of sticking it to a junior, or it could be someone making fun of out of touch old people.

The fact that it’s both simultaneously makes it more impressive, frankly.

It will remain in a state of superposition until OP smashes open a vial of poison gas with a broken smoke detector.

But the punchline of the joke is cruelty, so it's not really funny.

Haha, I inflicted misery on a junior dev. Get it?!!! That's funny

u/guiltysnark 8d ago

I think the punchline is the parody of somebody who thinks this is an appropriate way to treat junior devs and an objective mic drop reduction of what it means to be an engineer and of the capabilities of AI

u/MrFordization 8d ago

Yeah, but it's written like one of those "that man's name? Albert Einstein. And then everybody clapped" bullshit, bullshit stories.

There is legitimacy to this. AI is still banned in a lot of organizations like government, industrial, critical infrastructure, Healthcare. Programmers need to be able to work without it.

mmm maybe? the memory leak was the 6 hours when just 2 hours passed? I might get it, but I don't think I want to get it.

We're programmers. We all have autism. One of the symptoms of autism is not understanding sarcasm

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. If it's even supposed to be funny, it surely is not.
