The secret ingredient to landing that high-paying dev job? A clean shower. Not clean code, not a fancy portfolio, just pristine bathroom tiles. Tech recruiters aren't looking for your GitHub contributions—they're desperate for engineers who understand the concept of personal hygiene. In an industry where "works from home" often means "hasn't seen sunlight in 72 hours," a shower photo is basically a competitive advantage. The bar is literally on the floor... or in this case, the drain.

At Least No More LeetCode I Guess

At Least No More LeetCode I Guess
The existential dread hits different when you realize all those hours grinding through algorithm puzzles were just feeding the beast that'll eventually replace you. Competitive programmers spent years optimizing solutions to the most obscure problems, only to discover they've been unwittingly training their silicon successors. The ultimate plot twist: your LeetCode grind wasn't preparing you for a job interview—it was preparing AI to ace it instead. Talk about creating your own replacement with extra steps.

Hello World In "C"

Hello World In "C"
When someone claims they're "good in C," but their idea of writing code is literally arranging the letter 'c' to spell "Hello World." That's like saying you're fluent in Spanish because you can order a burrito at Chipotle. The painful irony is that actual C "Hello World" is just a few lines that any first-year student could Google in 5 seconds: #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello World"); return 0; } Yet here we are, watching someone flex their ASCII art skills instead of basic syntax knowledge. Classic interview self-destruction.

Get Free Labor

Get Free Labor
Ah, the classic "job interview disguised as a coding test" trap. Two full days of implementing multiple bullet firing, collision optimization, weapon modes, particle effects, high score tables, and UFOs... all for the privilege of maybe getting hired. Translation: "Please build our entire game for free while we watch and decide if we like you enough to actually pay you someday." Next time just ask candidates to fix your production bugs while they're at it. Nothing says "we value your expertise" like extracting 16 hours of unpaid labor before the first handshake.

Good Deeds

Finally, a policy everyone in tech can get behind! The meme brilliantly captures the collective trauma of every developer who's ever had to reverse a binary tree on a whiteboard while some senior engineer watches with folded arms. LeetCode questions are basically the tech industry's hazing ritual - "Sure you built three successful apps, but can you solve this completely irrelevant algorithm puzzle in O(log n) time?" If this executive order were real, developers everywhere would be throwing their whiteboard markers into the air like graduation caps. The greatest humanitarian achievement of our time would be freeing junior devs from explaining dynamic programming to people who already know the answer.
