Circuit design Memes

That circuit looks like what happens when you ask a toddler to recreate the Mona Lisa with spaghetti. The AI promised us a sleek buck converter and delivered what appears to be electronic spaghetti junction instead! Engineers are currently weeping into their coffee mugs everywhere. This is what happens when silicon-based intelligence tries to do what took humans decades to perfect. Next time someone hypes up "AI will replace engineers," just show them this masterpiece of digital confusion. It's the electronic equivalent of putting shoes on backwards and claiming you've revolutionized walking.

The eternal struggle between engineers and PCB designers in one beautiful bell curve. In the middle, we have the reasonable engineer desperately pleading for 6 layers to make a functional printed circuit board. Meanwhile, at both extremes of the IQ distribution, we find the geniuses (or idiots?) confidently claiming they can do it in just 2 layers. This is electrical engineering's version of the Dunning-Kruger effect – where the truly incompetent and the legitimate savants arrive at the same conclusion through wildly different paths. One will create a rat's nest of copper traces that violates every design rule in existence; the other will produce an elegant masterpiece of minimalist engineering that somehow works flawlessly. The true pain comes when the project manager sides with the 2-layer crowd because "it's cheaper" and then wonders why the board keeps failing EMC testing...
