A vintage-style illustration depicting a tense domestic scene with satirical undertones. In the foreground, a woman and two children stand in a doorway, each holding a knife. The woman is labeled '*AI hype', one child '*Layoffs', and the other '*Economic uncertainty'. Outside on the sidewalk, a man approaches the house, labeled '*me dreaming about pursuing a long lasting successful career as a software dev'.
