Programmers Thinking Factorio Is Easy

programmers thinking factorio isn't gonna oneshot them is like hardware people thinking they deserve to live which is like webdevs thinking their opinion actually matters which is like networking people thinking their jobs won't get taken over by clankers which is like database "people" they know how cpu works which is like computer engineers thinking they're nuclear engineers when they're actually civil engineers which is like software engineers thinking their glorified mousepad of a degree has any amount of value which is like factorio people thinking they're electrical engineers (put the fries in the bag, gretech mogs your stupid ass progression system anyway) which is like anthropic thinking us govt will rape openai while letting them do whatever the fuck they please and then try to convince the unwashed goyim they have agi after it finds a single vulnerability in curl and can copy over all the logic from gcc into their shitty buggy mess (people fall for it anyway) which is like openai thinking they're the best and they have agi and they're profitable after bribing everyone with free limit resets like every other which is like google thinking 3.5 flash is worth releasing and that they're still in the air race which is like melon tusk thinking his clanker is the best one there is after making it skinwalk as misa misa which is like the average gamer thinking the ai bubble is gonna pop and they'll be able to afford more than 8gb of ram which is like me thinking 67 is peak humor (actually it is)

A long satirical post compares different groups’ overconfident or misguided beliefs, escalating from programmers and engineers to tech companies, AI labs, and gamers. The joke is the repeated “which is like” structure, mocking online subcultures, technology hype, and increasingly absurd claims about competence and value. It is sent as an ironic reaction to someone making an overconfident comparison or ranting about tech culture.
