Where these designs come from
Every design in the AI & programmer tees collection starts the same way: something ridiculous happens in a terminal, a standup, or an incident channel, and somebody says “that should be a shirt.” We are the people who actually make the shirt. No recycled “works on my machine” clip art from a dropshipper — original graphics, drawn flat and screened by hand.
The in-jokes, decoded
If you have ever burned through an API allowance mid-build, the Token Quota Exceeded tee needs no explanation — it is styled like the system log that ruins your afternoon. The Token Quota Mission Patch tee plays it straighter: a retro NASA-style patch for the era of shipping on borrowed compute, also available as a long sleeve. Don’t Prompt and Drive is the road-sign warning nobody follows, and Who’s Prompting Who? is the binary-circle question every prompt engineer eventually asks themselves at 2am.
What is vibe coding? Shipping with an LLM in the loop and taste as your test suite — describing what you want, letting the model draft it, and steering by feel. Half the industry does it and will not say so. These shirts say so.
Why hand-screened cotton
Dev humor dies fast on a thin, faded print. Every tee here is hand-screened on heavyweight combed ringspun cotton with a high-contrast print that survives the wash cycle better than your staging environment survives a Friday deploy. Boxy, true-to-size fit; a full size range.
Wearing it
These read from across a conference hall, which is the point — the joke does the networking for you. They also make dangerously easy gifts for the developer in your life. Like everything we print, each design is a limited run with no restock: when the quota is gone, it is gone. New to the catalog? Start with the story of how our funny graphic tees get made.
