Good Vibe Plan

Corporate masterminds really thought they cracked the code: fire the juniors who actually need training, replace senior devs with AI that hallucinates code like it's on a bad trip, and then act SHOCKED when 20 years later there's nobody left to hire because—plot twist—everyone either retired or rage-quit to become goat farmers. The sheer GENIUS of creating your own talent apocalypse by refusing to invest in the next generation while simultaneously thinking ChatGPT can architect your entire infrastructure. Chef's kiss to this self-inflicted dystopia! 💀

I'M Not Gonna Lie, That Sounds Amazing.

So you're telling me the secret to financial freedom in tech is getting absolutely WRECKED by a Google commuter bus? Career progression: junior dev → senior dev → lawsuit millionaire → back to being a senior dev. The trajectory here is absolutely WILD – went from grinding leetcode to literally getting hit by the algorithm. And then casually taking a "promotion" that pays $146K after having $35 MILLION in the bank? That's not a promotion, that's a hobby with health insurance. The real power move is going back to work just to flex on everyone in standup meetings. "Yeah, I could retire but debugging production issues on a Tuesday really keeps me grounded, you know?"

Why Nobody Hires Juniors Anymore

Picture this: You're a fresh-faced junior dev, desperately trying to get your first PR merged while the senior devs are out there living their best lives. So naturally, you slap a cute hamster sticker with "please let me merge!" on your car like some kind of adorable coding hostage situation. The sheer DESPERATION radiating from that bumper sticker is sending me. It's giving "I've been waiting for code review approval for 3 weeks and I'm about to lose my mind" energy. The little hearts just make it more tragic – like begging with puppy eyes but make it version control. Companies want juniors with 5 years of experience, and juniors just want someone, ANYONE, to approve their pull request without leaving 47 comments about variable naming conventions. The struggle is cosmically unfair.

Connections Are The Secret Ingredient

You can have a CV that makes senior engineers weep with envy, relevant experience that spans multiple tech stacks, interview skills sharp enough to slice through behavioral questions, a portfolio that would make Dribbble jealous, and a Master's degree gathering dust on your wall. But none of that matters when someone's cousin's roommate who knows HTML and "some JavaScript" gets the job because they play golf with the CTO. Nepotism and referrals trump merit since the dawn of corporate time. Your LeetCode grind? Irrelevant. Your GitHub stars? Meaningless. Your ability to explain the difference between a promise and a callback? Who cares when Brad from accounting vouched for his nephew. The real tech stack: LinkedIn + networking events + knowing someone who knows someone. Welcome to the industry.

The Struggle Is Real

The holy trinity of developer misery, perfectly captured in three identical facepalms. Having a job means dealing with legacy code, pointless meetings, and that one coworker who still uses Internet Explorer. Not having a job means existential dread and your bank account slowly approaching zero. And searching for a job? That's where you get to experience the joy of being ghosted by recruiters, doing unpaid "take-home assignments" that take 20 hours, and being rejected for entry-level positions that require 5 years of experience in a framework that came out 2 years ago. The real kicker? All three states produce the exact same level of suffering. It's like choosing between three different flavors of pain. Welcome to the tech industry, where the grass is always equally dead on every side of the fence.

Nothing screams "I'm a dedicated developer" quite like a GitHub contribution graph that's basically a digital graveyard with exactly TWO green squares in the entire year. Someone really woke up on a random Tuesday in December, committed "fixed typo" twice, and called it a career portfolio. The desperate puppy-dog eyes paired with this contribution graph is the job hunting equivalent of showing up to a marathon having only walked to your mailbox twice in 12 months. But hey, those two commits were REALLY important, okay? That README.md wasn't going to fix itself! Recruiters asking for "active GitHub profiles" and you're out here presenting a contribution graph that looks like your New Year's gym resolution died in February. Twice.

Nothing says "living the dream" quite like writing cover letters at 2 AM with the enthusiasm of a burnt-out lightbulb. That dead-eyed stare? That's the look of someone who's about to claim they're "passionate about leveraging synergistic solutions in a dynamic environment" for the 47th time this week. Full-stack position means you'll be doing frontend, backend, DevOps, QA, product management, customer support, and probably fixing the office printer too. But hey, at least they're offering "competitive salary" (spoiler: it's not competitive) and "exciting challenges" (translation: legacy code from 2009 that nobody wants to touch). The real kicker? You actually ARE excited because rent is due and your savings account is crying. Corporate Stockholm Syndrome at its finest.

Because Agent Don't Want To PM

AI Agile Programming Python Java

10 days ago 317.6K views 0 shares

The tech industry's slow-motion apocalypse timeline, where roles disappear faster than your motivation on a Monday morning. In 2026, we've got the holy trinity: Project Managers looking smug with their Jira boards, Site Reliability Engineers keeping the servers from catching fire (literally shown with Java's flaming coffee cup), and Software Engineers grinding away with Python. Fast forward to 2028, and plot twist—the SE with the Python logo vanishes into an asterisk of doom. By 2030, even the SSE joins the void, leaving only the PM standing. The asterisk? That's probably an AI agent doing all the coding while management stays eternal. The title drops the real truth bomb: AI agents are happy to write code, debug at 2 AM, and refactor legacy spaghetti, but they draw the line at attending standup meetings and updating sprint boards. Can't blame them—if I could opt out of being a PM by simply not existing, I'd consider it too.

That split-second panic when you see "Your name is in Einstein Files" from your boss and your brain immediately goes into full disaster recovery mode. Did I accidentally commit credentials? Push to main? Delete the production database? Nope—turns out someone named Rawbare just wants a job and cleverly used the Einstein Files subject line as a notification hack to stand out in your inbox. The relief is real, but also... respect the hustle. That's some A+ social engineering right there. Your heart rate can return to normal now.

If AI Replaced You, You Were Just Coding

Ooof, that's a spicy take right there. The distinction being drawn here is brutal but kinda true: if ChatGPT can do your job, you were probably just translating requirements into syntax like a glorified compiler. Real software engineering? That's understanding business problems, making architectural decisions that won't bite you in 6 months, mentoring juniors, debugging production at 2 AM because someone didn't consider edge cases, and explaining to product managers why their "simple feature" would require rewriting half the codebase. AI can spit out a React component or a CRUD API faster than you can say "npm install," but it can't navigate office politics, push back on terrible requirements, or know that the "temporary" hack from 2019 is now load-bearing infrastructure. The caffeine-fueled chaos goblins in the bottom panel get it—they're the ones who've seen things, survived the legacy codebases, and know that software engineering is 20% code and 80% dealing with humans and their terrible decisions.

LinkedIn has become a dystopian hellscape where everyone's either a "Prompt Engineer" or a "Growth Hacker Ninja Rockstar." Meanwhile, the real heroes are the ones who've actually kept production alive through legacy monoliths that should've been decommissioned in 2012, debugged critical outages at ungodly hours while everyone else was asleep, and somehow managed to not burn the entire codebase down. But does LinkedIn care about your battle scars? Nope. It wants you to sound like you spent your entire career attending AI conferences and whispering sweet nothings to ChatGPT. The brutal truth is that "survived legacy monoliths" doesn't get you recruiter DMs, but "Gen AI Enthusiast" does. Welcome to tech in 2024, where buzzwords matter more than actually shipping code.

LinkedIn has become the digital equivalent of watching someone perform a TED Talk while standing in a dumpster fire. You've got people writing these dramatic, corporate-speak announcements about literally nothing, acting like they just discovered the cure for cancer when they learned how to use Git merge. The "Reading the latest Epstein revelations taught me 3 things about networking (B2B SaaS edition)" is the chef's kiss of LinkedIn cringe. Someone really sat there thinking "How can I turn a serious scandal into engagement bait for my SaaS hustle?" That's the LinkedIn special: take any world event, add some buzzwords, and pretend it taught you leadership lessons. We've all seen these posts. "I'm humbled to announce..." followed by the least humble thing imaginable. The platform went from professional networking to a weird mix of motivational poster factory and humble-brag Olympics. Just post your job update and go, nobody needs your 10-point listicle on how your morning coffee routine relates to microservices architecture.
