Why it worked

The video leverages a highly relatable pain point for developers (AI hallucinating or failing at simple tasks) through a humorous, low-effort skit that encourages engagement in the comments.

Summary

A developer humorously expresses frustration with AI coding tools by acting out a scene where they take matters into their own hands with a hockey stick. The video uses relatable tech humor to highlight the limitations of current AI coding assistants.
