Entry level Memes

The Squirtle Squad of resume padding. Copy-pasting "print('Hello World')" in Rust and suddenly you're a "systems programming specialist with low-level memory management experience." Meanwhile, actual Rust developers watching you struggle to explain lifetimes during the interview. The classic "fake it till you make it" approach, except you never actually make it past the technical screening.

The tech industry's favorite paradox: entry-level positions requiring time travel abilities. That cat's face is all of us reading job listings that say "Junior" but demand years of experience. It's like asking someone to be a virgin with sexual experience. The hiring manager probably also wants 5 years of experience in a framework that's only existed for 2 years. Welcome to the job market, where logic goes to die!

Ah yes, the classic tech interview credential paradox, perfectly captured by "Former Child" as the only qualification. Nothing says "I can reverse a binary tree" quite like bragging that you've successfully completed the tutorial level of human existence. Tech companies want 5 years of experience in a framework that's 3 years old, but hey—I've been breathing for 25 years straight without a single outage! That's 99.9999% uptime, baby. Resume padding has never been so honest.

The tech industry's time paradox in pixel-perfect form! Entry-level jobs that somehow require you to have been coding since the Nixon administration. Grandpa's been slinging COBOL since 1959 and even HE can't land a job. Meanwhile, recruiters want junior devs with 10 years of experience in a 3-year-old framework. The only true entry-level position is apparently "time traveler with programming skills." Maybe we should all just learn COBOL and wait for the legacy systems to have their revenge!
