Time Traveler's Interview Fail

Oh. My. GOD! The AUDACITY of this truth bomb! 💣 You're at home coding like some muscular beast, flipping cars and destroying problems with your bare hands. But put that same brain in an interview setting? INSTANT TRANSFORMATION into a quivering mess wearing a ridiculous pointy hat! The cognitive collapse is REAL, people! One minute you're building entire systems single-handedly, the next you're forgetting how to reverse a string while some hiring manager watches your soul leave your body. The duality of developer life is just SO BRUTAL!

Remember when we used to write our own algorithms? Now we're just watching ChatGPT and Deepseek haul our careers up the mountain while we take a nap in the sleeping bag of obsolescence. And the worst part? We have the audacity to brag about our "productivity" like we actually did something impressive. "Look how far I climbed" – yeah buddy, you typed a prompt and took a coffee break while the AI did all the heavy lifting. The only muscle you've exercised is your index finger hitting Ctrl+V.

THE AUDACITY of young me declaring "I don't need math, I'll just make video games!" only to later discover that game development is LITERALLY a mathematical hellscape! 😭 Fast forward to the soul-crushing reality where Unity, OpenGL, C++, and every other game dev tool are CACKLING at your mathematical ignorance. They're all just sitting there like "Oh honey, you thought you could escape VECTORS and MATRICES? That's adorable!" Game physics? MATH. Graphics rendering? MATH. Character movement? MATH. It's math all the way down, you poor, delusional child!

OH. MY. GOD. The "super intelligent" AI can't even grasp the most BASIC rule of chess?! 🙄 White moves first, sweetie! The fact that ChatGPT confidently makes the first move while playing black and then has the AUDACITY to suggest the same move to the human player is just... *chef's kiss* peak AI incompetence. This is why we're still light-years away from true AGI, people! Can't even handle a simple board game without a total meltdown of logic. And yet the tech bros keep screaming "THE SINGULARITY IS COMING!!!" Sure, Jan. Maybe teach your precious AI to play chess first? 💅

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of this developer! 💀 Instead of implementing the elegant recursive Fibonacci formula, this chaotic evil genius just hardcoded ALL THE VALUES in a switch statement like some kind of mathematical barbarian! The function is literally named "fib" but there's not a single calculation happening - just a glorified lookup table masquerading as actual code. This is what happens when someone takes "work smarter not harder" to its most horrifying extreme. The face peeking at the bottom is all of us witnessing this algorithmic war crime!

Oh. My. GOD. The AUDACITY of our past selves! 💀 What seemed like a BRILLIANT idea at 2 AM ("Let's just add a simple history feature so users can undo operations!") turns into an existential crisis when you realize you've opened a Pandora's box of race conditions and theoretical nightmares. Your brain literally SPLITS IN TWO - part of you is like "this is fine, just a quick feature" while the other part is DROWNING in the horrifying reality that you've just volunteered to rewrite half your database architecture for what was supposed to be a "20 minute adventure." And the worst part? Future you will look back at this code and wonder what kind of DERANGED LUNATIC wrote it. Spoiler alert: it was you. It was ALWAYS you.
