AI coders who code themselves out

There's a peculiar suicidal impulse haunting the cubicles of AI tech today: coders feverishly coding the very machines that will make coders irrelevant. It's like watching locksmiths invent skeleton keys, or bakers perfecting a bread that rises itself. The industry 'death wish' is breathtaking. Coders seem to be the only workers who cheerfully automate themselves into obsolescence. Truck drivers don't design self-driving trucks in their spare time - Elon Musks do. Surgeons don't spend weekends teaching scalpels to operate autonomously. Yet, coders, with a zeal bordering on masochism, are building their replacements and calling it progress. And for what? 'Employee of the month' bragging rights?

And the rhetoric is so self-righteous that one can't help but feel bad for them. 'We're democratising coding,' the dorkiest of them say, as if democracy means handing your job to a chatbot that never sleeps and never complains about the latest HR lunacy. The future they're crafting is one where the only coder left is AI-bhai itself, smugly refactoring humanity out of relevance. Perhaps this is the ultimate hacker prank: a profession so clever, it hacks itself into extinction. Or perhaps it's simply the most stylish suicide note ever written - in JavaScript, with comments. Either way, coders, why don't you stop before the machines start debugging you?
