Experience level Memes

When a site asks for your "experience level" and the options range from "Aspiring engineer" to "I've suffered enough (10+ years)" - nothing captures the programming career trajectory quite like it. That escalation from bright-eyed optimism to battle-hardened veteran who's seen too many deprecated APIs and midnight production crashes. The longer you code, the more you realize your experience isn't measured in years but in psychological damage from legacy codebases. Whoever made this dropdown menu has clearly lived through the trenches of tech.
