Crashing Prod With Our Best Of Intentions

Two doors. One leads to "Working on Real-World Projects" and stands completely empty. The other leads to "Next AI/Data Bootcamp" with a line stretching to the horizon. Everyone's rushing to become the next AI guru while actual project experience collects dust. The tech industry's version of a Black Friday sale – except what they're fighting for is just another certificate to add to their LinkedIn profile.

When your "sophisticated hack" is just a Python script that downloads publicly available files... 🤦‍♂️ This tweet perfectly skewers the media's tendency to sensationalize basic web scraping as "hacking."

And the best part? They'll still call it "entry-level" and offer you exposure instead of a proper salary.
