Huge Respect For The Tiny Heroes
OH. MY. GOD. The AUDACITY of trillion-dollar companies balancing their entire digital empires on the backs of sleep-deprived programmers who code for free in their underwear! 💀 Picture this: a MASSIVE elephant (that's our global tech infrastructure) standing on a beach ball (open source software), which is somehow being held up by two tiny ants (those poor, unpaid open source devs who survive on ramen and Stack Overflow karma). Next time your bank app crashes or your favorite website goes down, pour one out for the unsung heroes maintaining that random Python package your ENTIRE FINANCIAL SYSTEM depends on. They're probably fixing critical bugs between Zoom meetings at their day job!

Free Labor With A Side Of Competition
The eternal developer nightmare: being asked to build something "for the experience" while someone else profits from your work. That school project is basically saying "Hey kids, compete against each other to build our website for free, and maybe we'll give you a gold star!" The kicker? You're not just doing unpaid work—you're doing unpaid work with the added pressure of a competition. It's like being asked to interview for a job by building their entire product first. Next thing you know, they'll ask students to "redesign the school's enterprise database system for extra credit."

Show Me Your Code, Not Your Credentials
Billionaire needs "hardcore" engineers for his "everything app" but doesn't care about credentials—just wants to see your code. Translation: "Please do a free coding challenge so we can harvest your ideas while dangling the possibility of employment." Ten-year veterans know the drill. Send in your "Hello World" program and call it a day. The real "everything app" is the burnout we collected along the way.

OH. MY. GOD. The AUDACITY of schools asking students to compete in creating their website only to STEAL THE WINNER'S WORK! 🙄 It's the corporate equivalent of saying "Hey kids, design my logo for free, and I'll give the winner a shoutout on Instagram!" Except the prize is... absolutely nothing but the privilege of having your work exploited! Congratulations, you've just experienced your first taste of the tech industry's favorite pastime: getting professional work done for the bargain price of a gold star and a pat on the head! 💀
