Web Development In A Nutshell
Ah yes, the classic pagination system that absolutely nobody uses. Those suspiciously precise version numbers masquerading as page numbers? That's what happens when the backend developer is also in charge of UI design. Nine decimal places of precision for page numbers is exactly what users need! And that "Go" button? It's just sitting there, judging your life choices, knowing damn well nobody's typing "page 3.023809523809" in that input field. This is what happens when you ask for "pagination" in the requirements doc without specifying further details. The developer technically delivered what was asked for... just with the UX sensibilities of a calculator.

Unga Bunga Binary Conversion
The face you make when someone can't convert binary to decimal during a technical interview. 1010 is obviously 10 in decimal! It's Binary 101 (which is 5 in decimal, by the way). The fictitious "Unga Bunga Programming Language" perfectly captures that primitive feeling when you watch someone struggle with the most fundamental computer science concept. Like watching a caveman try to compile C++.

Battle Of The Bots: When AI Math Goes Wrong
When you ask two AI models the same basic math question and get completely opposite answers. Deepseek correctly identifies that 9.9 > 9.11 (treating them as decimals), while ChatGPT somehow thinks 9.11 > 9.9. This is why we still have jobs. For now. Nothing says "trust me with your critical systems" like failing elementary school math. Somewhere, a software engineer is using this screenshot in their slide deck titled "Why Human QA Still Matters".
