Basics Memes

Imagine getting rejected from a job interview because you couldn't explain the difference between IPv4 and IPv6. Not some obscure algorithm complexity question, not some whiteboard coding nightmare, not even FizzBuzz—just basic networking fundamentals that literally power the internet you're using to apply for jobs. The absolute AUDACITY of companies to hype up AI like it's going to replace us all, while simultaneously filtering out candidates who don't know their networking 101. Like bestie, if you're applying for software engineering roles and can't distinguish between 32-bit and 128-bit IP addresses, maybe the rejection was... deserved? The irony is CHEF'S KISS though—everyone's worried about AI taking our jobs when some of us can't even pass the "do you know how computers talk to each other" test. Sometimes the basics really do matter! 💀
