Why it worked

The video leverages a popular, relatable meme within the developer community ('centering a div') and ties it to a high-stakes, viral-style hypothetical scenario, making the product mention feel like a natural part of the commentary.

Summary

The creator reacts to a viral tweet about a hypothetical MrBeast challenge where developers must center a div without using AI. He uses this premise to highlight how reliant modern developers have become on AI tools like Claude.

Transcript

Do you know how many developers would be screwed if this actually happened? Mr Beast is planning to trap 1,000 developers in a room without Claude. The first person to center a Div manually wins $1 million. This has to be fake. But this would be so interesting. Think about the current population of developers, the majority of which probably haven't coded even a single line of code, maybe in like a year, trying to center a Div. I was a front end developer for a few years before AI, and to be honest, I barely knew how to center a Div. Then if someone were to just turn the switch off like, it turned out that AI was way too expensive, we're all going back to manual coding. We'd be so cooked.
