Day 7 At My New Dev Job

Day 7 At My New Dev Job
HONEY, THE IMPOSTOR SYNDROME IS REAL! That's a black lab swimming with ducks who have NO IDEA they've been infiltrated by a completely different species! Just like when you've been copy-pasting ChatGPT code for a week straight and somehow convinced the entire engineering team you're a coding genius! The whole dev team is like "Great job on that algorithm!" while you're frantically Googling what a for-loop is. Swimming in a sea of competent developers while your brain is screaming "QUACK QUACK I'M TOTALLY A PROGRAMMER" is the most relatable thing ever. We're all just dogs in a duck pond pretending we know what we're doing!

Programmers Trying To Learn Be Like

Programmers Trying To Learn Be Like
The eternal cycle of programming education: nodding along to tutorials while understanding absolutely nothing. That tiny kitten is all of us pretending to grasp React hooks or recursion during the fifth YouTube tutorial of the night. "Yeah, yeah, I totally get why we're using a binary search tree here" *frantically Googles 'what is a binary search tree' in another tab*. The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.

When LinkedIn meets GitHub, truth bombs explode! This genius "Senior Data Engineer" created a script that automatically commits to GitHub every few minutes—making his contribution graph look like he's coding 24/7. Little did he know his "10-minute hack" would expose the entire tech hiring circus. The second part shows a recruiter drooling over this fake activity: "We offered him $500k without even interviewing!" Because apparently, a green GitHub grid is more impressive than actual skills. Who needs technical interviews when you can automate your way to looking productive? Remember kids, it's not about building useful things—it's about making sure your contribution graph looks like a radioactive lawn.

I Do Not Know What Polymortism Is But I Work At Google

I Do Not Know What Polymortism Is But I Work At Google
Ah, the classic "fake it till you make it" approach to tech careers. This Google engineer proudly listing all the fundamental CS concepts he doesn't understand is like a surgeon announcing they're not quite sure what blood does. The best part? "Polymortism" isn't even a real term - it's polymorphism , buddy. Nothing says "I deserve my six-figure salary" like not knowing what RAM is while working at one of the world's tech giants. This is why your search results have been acting weird lately.

The eternal tech interview charade! HR asks if you have Git experience, and there's Stewie confidently declaring he knows the sacred trio of commands: "git add .", "git commit -m", and "git push origin master". The punchline? He genuinely believes these three commands make him a Git expert. It's like saying you're a master chef because you can boil water and add salt. Every developer has been there - memorizing just enough commands to sound competent while secretly Googling "how to undo git commit" the moment something breaks. The audacity to claim "Yes, I think I understand the nuances of this profession" is peak junior developer energy!
