Devs before June 12, 2025: "Ai? Pfft, hallucination central. They'll never replace me!"

Devs during June 12, 2025 GCP outage: "What, no AI?! Do you think I'm a slave?!"



100% agree... I even thought "ok maybe I'll clean up the backlog while I wait" but I'm so used to even using AI to clean up my JIRA backlog (using the Atlassian MCP), so even that feels weird to click into each ticket, just the way I used to do it TWO MONTHS AGO.

This is a good wake-up call on how easily (and quickly) we can all become pretty dependent on these tools.
