Rapid-fire standup that strings concrete tech gags: an AI text editor called AI Mo says "They're really paying you to write this crap", a self-made font built from Wikipedia pages, C++ codebases littered with dot.first and dot.second pairs, and an LLM that literally fails to generate certificates — "makes a hash of it." Other beats include key rotation done with ROT13, a DBA who rolls everything back, a deleted database and source code, and a prompt engineer who lives in PS1.
