Corporate survival Memes

That one developer who somehow survived the tech apocalypse at Facebook/Amazon/Apple/Netflix/Google while everyone else got pink-slipped isn't human anymore. They've transcended mortality and become a cosmic deity through sheer corporate survivalism. Their legacy codebase is so tangled that firing them would literally break the universe. Not even ChatGPT could replace them because it would need therapy after seeing their undocumented code. Their Slack status? "Can't talk, holding entire AWS infrastructure together with duct tape and spite."

The legendary Senior Developer—an armored knight impervious to the arrows of corporate chaos. While managers whine about velocity, customers rage, and deadlines whoosh by, this battle-hardened veteran just smiles and reassures the terrified Junior Dev that everything is fine. It's the tech industry's greatest illusion: pretending you're not being stabbed by a thousand project management arrows while mentoring someone who has no idea what fresh hell awaits them. That encouraging "Nice PR" is basically saying "Welcome to the thunderdome, kid—I've just grown numb to the pain."
