Deduping For Faster Justice

The classic tech company bait-and-switch. First panel: "Your experience is amazing! Exactly what we need!" with sparkly eyes and flattery about your soft skills. Second panel: The moment you can't reverse a linked list in 30 seconds during a whiteboard interview, suddenly you're garbage. The duality of technical interviews - where your resume gets you in the door but your ability to perform circus tricks under pressure determines your worth. Just another day in the tech hiring paradox.

The paranoia is real. Nothing says "trust issues" like wrapping your calculator in parentheses just to make absolutely sure it calculates 2+3*4 as 2+(3*4) instead of (2+3)*4. That's the difference between getting 14 and 20, and I'm not taking any chances with my code logic. The calculator says it follows PEMDAS, but do I believe it? Absolutely not. Those extra parentheses are basically the programming equivalent of wearing both a belt AND suspenders.

The eternal divide between programmers and mathematicians in one perfect meme. In programming, "2!=2" is checking if 2 is not equal to 2 (which is false, so "No"). But in math, "2!" means factorial of 2, which equals 2, making the statement true ("Yes"). This is why programmers should never date mathematicians. Dinner conversations would be a nightmare. "Hey, could you pass the salt?" "No, because that's syntactically ambiguous and I'm interpreting it as a boolean expression."

This is cryptography dating humor at its finest! The left side shows "When she's a [RSA 4096] girl" with SHA256 at the bottom - representing a highly secure, industry-standard encryption algorithm with a robust 4096-bit key. Meanwhile, the right side shows "But you're a [DSA 1024] boy" - a significantly weaker, outdated encryption standard. It's basically saying "she's way out of your league" in encryption terms. She's using military-grade security while you're running the digital equivalent of a paper lock. The title "Brute Forced" adds another layer of humor - suggesting that despite the mismatch in security levels, you're still trying to crack the code through sheer persistence rather than elegant algorithms. The ultimate nerd way of saying your encryption standards are incompatible for a secure connection!

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute MADNESS of using Fibonacci spacing for code indentation! 💀 Like, imagine scrolling through this monstrosity where each level of nesting jumps exponentially further to the right! By the time you hit the 7th level of nesting, your code has practically fallen off the edge of the universe! Your horizontal scroll bar is BEGGING for mercy! This is the coding equivalent of building a staircase where each step is progressively wider than the last until you need a JETPACK to reach the bathroom. Pure chaotic evil masquerading as mathematical elegance!

Ah, the legendary "setTimeout Sort" algorithm. Efficiency: O(whenever JavaScript feels like it). The code loops through an array and uses setTimeout to log each value with the item itself as the delay. So smaller numbers appear first in the console, creating an "accidental" sorting mechanism that relies entirely on the browser's timer queue. It's like asking your intern to sort papers by throwing them in the air and picking them up in whatever order they land. Somehow it worked this time, but don't tell your senior dev.
