When someone asks what you do for a living and you say "Java developer," but then clarify you don't mess with Spring Boot or microservices—you write kernel modules in C. The programming equivalent of saying you don't lift weights at Planet Fitness, you deadlift cars in your driveway.
Java devs get the "fancy things" label while C programmers manually manage memory and wrestle with segfaults like it's a badge of honor. Nothing says "I enjoy pain" quite like choosing to write low-level code when garbage collection exists. Real programmers count bytes, apparently.
