Interns Memes

Ah, the beautiful world of consulting firms where mathematical wizardry transforms two inexperienced interns into "senior experts" with a simple multiplication of the hourly rate. The meme perfectly captures that awkward moment when you're the project lead forced to pretend these kids fresh out of college who still have "Hello World" as their greatest achievement are actually worth $250/hour to your client. Meanwhile, the client is paying premium rates for what is essentially a glorified internship program where you're secretly the one doing all the actual work while simultaneously teaching these two how to use Git without destroying the repository. The circle of corporate life continues...

The graph perfectly captures the infamous "Dunning-Kruger effect" in tech mentorship. That poor intern is stuck at the peak of "Mount Stupid" - where knowing just enough HTML and a for-loop has them convinced they're ready to rewrite the company codebase in Rust. Meanwhile, their actual skills are hovering somewhere between "can center a div" and "accidentally deleted production database." The real tragedy? We've all been that intern, strutting around with confidence inversely proportional to our knowledge, until reality hits like a merge conflict in a monorepo. The graph doesn't show the inevitable next phase: crying in the server room while questioning every career choice.

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.
