It Prints Some Underscores And Dots
HR interviewer asks what this code prints, and honestly? Same energy as asking "where do you see yourself in five years?" Nobody knows, nobody wants to figure it out, and the correct answer is probably "somewhere else." This is peak technical interview theater. The code is intentionally obfuscated garbage with single-letter variables, nested loops, random conditionals, and what appears to be an attempt to summon a daemon. It's the programming equivalent of asking someone to translate ancient Sumerian while standing on one leg. The real skill being tested here isn't "can you trace this code" but "can you maintain a professional smile while internally screaming." Spoiler: it probably prints underscores and dots in some pattern. Or segfaults. Either way, you're not getting hired based on this answer.

Please Raise Your Hand If You Qualify
Nothing says "we have no idea what we actually need" quite like a job posting that requires 4 years of experience with React 16+ when React 16 came out like 6 years ago. But sure, let me just pull out my time machine and get 5 years of experience with every technology that's existed for 3 years. They want a full-stack unicorn who's mastered Java EE, Spring, Angular, React, PHP, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, AWS, and apparently has been using Git for 5 years like it's some kind of specialized skill. Brother, I've been using Git for 10 years and I still Google how to undo a commit. The real kicker? They probably want to pay you $75k for this "junior developer" position that requires the combined experience of an entire dev team. HR just copy-pasted every buzzword from the last decade into one listing and called it a day.

The Ultimate Burnout Prevention Program
Ah yes, corporate problem-solving at its finest. Developer: "I'm burning out." HR: "Here's a survey." Developer: *honestly admits burnout* HR: "You're fired." Problem solved! Just like how I fix memory leaks by shutting down the server. Can't have burnout if you don't have employees. The classic "have you tried turning it off and not turning it back on again" approach to human resources.

Automatic CV Parser Failed
When your resume says "Expert in Python, Java, and 10 other languages" but the HR algorithm only picked up "fluent in English." The team leader is all excited about your "perfectly skilled" profile while HR is just happy they found someone who can understand the company lunch menu. This is why we can't have nice things in tech recruitment. Those fancy AI-powered resume parsers that companies spend thousands on? Yeah, they're basically just CTRL+F with a business suit on. Meanwhile, qualified candidates walk right past because their resume didn't include the sacred keyword "synergy" exactly 7 times.

Can You Tell Me Your Salary Expectations?

Can You Tell Me Your Salary Expectations?
The AUDACITY of HR to ask about salary expectations after you've spent 17 hours grinding through LeetCode hell! 😱 There you are, shell-shocked like Plankton, having survived algorithmic torture and system design nightmares, only to face the REAL boss battle: naming your price. Your brain just blue-screens because—plot twist—you were so convinced you'd fail that you never bothered to research market rates! Now you're frantically calculating numbers while simultaneously trying not to look like a desperate fool who would accept payment in exposure and free snacks. The technical interview was NOTHING compared to this psychological warfare!

The HR Gatekeeper's Technical Expertise
The ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE of tech recruiting in its purest form! 💀 The HR person has NO CLUE what they're hiring for but is somehow in charge of finding a "software engineer." Not a C# expert. Not a JavaScript guru. Just... a software engineer? But what KIND?! The recruiter's blank stare in that last panel is the PERFECT representation of every developer's job search hell. The tech industry's greatest mystery: how people who can't tell Python from a snake are the gatekeepers to your next paycheck!

The Corporate Termination API Evolution

The Corporate Termination API Evolution
The corporate euphemism evolution is reaching transcendent levels. First, the blunt "You're fired" - direct, honest, brutal. Then the HR-approved "Your employment is hereby terminated" - because nothing softens the blow like formal language. Next, the galaxy-brain "You're job'nt" - negating your employment with grammatical war crimes. But the final ascension? "You're promoted to customer" - the corporate equivalent of "We're not killing you, we're just releasing you back into the wild." Somewhere, a technical writer is updating the company's API documentation: user.status = "customer"; instead of user.status = "terminated";

When People Encounter Lisp Syntax For The First Time
The difference between normal function notation and Lisp's parentheses-everywhere approach is truly office-disrupting material! Top panel: Regular mathematical notation f(x) is perfectly acceptable workplace banter. Bottom panel: Switch to Lisp's (f x) prefix notation and suddenly you're getting reported to HR faster than an unhandled exception. The real tragedy? The poor soul probably just wanted to share their excitement about discovering a language where everything is a list and parentheses are more common than semicolons in JavaScript.

Applied From Dallas India
Nothing says "sweet dreams" like posting a job in Dallas that's actually in Delhi with a U.S. salary range to bait candidates. HR sleeps like a baby while developers spend hours crafting cover letters for positions that require "relocation to our vibrant Bangalore campus" buried in paragraph 17 of the description. The classic corporate bait-and-switch where "remote friendly" means "remote as long as you're within walking distance of the Ganges." Meanwhile, the recruiter's LinkedIn is blowing up with "Why aren't Americans applying for tech jobs anymore?"

After Five Rounds Of Interviews
Surviving five rounds of technical interviews only to be stumped by the salary question is peak tech industry absurdity. You've memorized sorting algorithms, explained microservices architecture, and built a binary tree on a whiteboard—but somehow pricing your own worth feels like dividing by zero. The real technical challenge was never the coding questions; it was figuring out how to ask for enough money without scaring them away but also not leaving $40k on the table because you said a number too quickly. Next time just respond with "SELECT MAX(salary) FROM your_other_employees WHERE experience = mine;"

Time For Summer Vacation I Guess
The SHEER HORROR of discovering HR is lurking on your boss call! One second you're casually trash-talking the codebase, and the next you're frantically backpedaling like your career depends on it—BECAUSE IT DOES! That instant transformation from "let me tell you what's wrong with everything" to "I've always been PASSIONATE about our company values" happens faster than a production server crashing after you push untested code. The corporate equivalent of stepping on a LEGO at 3 AM—unexpected, painful, and leaves you questioning all your life choices! 💀

The Tech Interview Parallel Universe
OMG, the ETERNAL TECH INTERVIEW DANCE! 💃 HR thinks they're conducting a sophisticated talent search while candidates are DESPERATELY trying to figure out if the company offers basic human necessities! The absolute DRAMA of it all! HR: "We need passionate code warriors who BLEED our company values!" Candidates: "But do you have health insurance so I don't ACTUALLY bleed to death?" It's like two people speaking completely different languages while trapped in the same Zoom call! One's hunting for ping-pong-loving code monkeys, the other's just trying to avoid weekend slavery. The AUDACITY of both sides thinking the other one cares about their priorities! The solution? Actually TALK to each other like humans instead of corporate robots performing a ritual mating dance. REVOLUTIONARY CONCEPT!
