Programming In 2026

The job market in 2026: millions of AI-generated apps flooding the ecosystem like digital locusts, all created by people who discovered ChatGPT and suddenly became "entrepreneurs." Meanwhile, the senior engineer sitting there with actual projects that real humans use is about as impressive as bringing a knife to a nuclear war. The vibe coder with their prompt engineering skills has industrialized app creation to the point where having genuine users is now the rarest commodity in tech. Quality over quantity? Never heard of her.

Sad Unemployment Tears

Bootcamps out here watching the tech job market burn like a dystopian hellscape while desperately trying to sell their $25k JavaScript courses. Nothing says "great investment" quite like spending the price of a decent used car to learn React hooks while senior devs with 10 years of experience are getting ghosted by recruiters. The timing couldn't be worse—it's like selling swimming lessons on the Titanic. These bootcamps promised you'd be making six figures in 3 months, but forgot to mention that "junior developer" positions now require 5 years of experience, a CS degree, and the ability to single-handedly architect a distributed system. But hey, at least you'll know how to center a div... for only 25 grand.

The Big Short 2026

So Michael Burry thinks trade jobs are "AI-proof" and uses Claude to do electrical work around his house. Then he drops the absolute bomb: "I am not so sure." The guy who predicted the 2008 housing crisis is now betting against the "AI won't replace blue-collar jobs" narrative. If an AI chatbot can guide someone through electrical work—a field requiring years of apprenticeship, code knowledge, and the ability to not die from 240V—what's stopping it from replacing actual electricians? The irony is chef's kiss: while using AI to do trade work, he realizes trade work might not be safe from AI. It's like watching someone discover they're standing on the thing they're about to short sell. The "Big Short 2026" format suggests we're heading toward another market collapse, except this time it's the job market getting wrecked by AI. Burry's track record of being catastrophically right about catastrophic things makes this extra unsettling. Time to learn underwater basket weaving—surely AI can't do that... right?

Whatever Happened To Prompt Engineering

Remember when "prompt engineering" was supposed to be the hottest career of 2023? Yeah, about that... Turns out asking ChatGPT nicely had the same shelf life as Shopify dropshipping and NFT trading. Death came for those grifts real quick, and now he's knocking on the door of everyone who put "Prompt Engineer" in their LinkedIn title. The brutal truth? Once AI models got better at understanding what humans actually want (shocking, I know), the whole "you need a specialist to talk to the robot" thing became about as valuable as a blockchain certificate. Next up on Death's hit list: whatever the next tech hype cycle convinces people is a legitimate career path.

Same Thing

The classic "they're the same picture" energy, but make it career anxiety. Society loves to pretend Math and Computer Science are two distinct paths leading to different destinations, but spoiler alert: they both funnel straight into the unemployment arrow. The goat standing there judging your "free choice" is basically every CS grad who thought they'd escape differential equations by learning to code, only to realize their degree is just applied math with RGB lighting. Plot twist: neither degree guarantees a job, but at least with CS you get to be unemployed while knowing how to center a div.

Junior Dev Job Market In 2025

When you finally finish that coding bootcamp and realize the "entry-level" positions require 5 years of experience with a framework that came out 2 years ago. Dude's literally offering to code HTML for sustenance—not even asking for money, just *food*. The job market has gotten so brutal that junior devs are out here trading their skills for basic survival needs like they're living in a post-apocalyptic barter economy. "Will implement your landing page for a sandwich" is the new LinkedIn headline. The sad part? Someone's probably gonna lowball him and ask if he knows React too.

The Future Of Tech Job Market

Job postings be like "Entry-level position, must have 500 years of experience." The hierarchy is perfect: demon lord with 500 years? Barely qualified. Wizard with 1000 years? Now we're talking. Fresh graduate who just learned to code? Straight to the unemployment pit with the other rejected souls. The real kicker is that AI logo casually sitting there, because apparently even immortal beings can't compete with ChatGPT's ability to hallucinate code at lightning speed. Companies would rather hire a statistical parrot than someone who "only" has a millennium of hands-on experience. The tech job market has officially transcended reality—you need to be older than COBOL itself just to get past the ATS screening.

Tech Companies Be Like

The tech industry's job market in one perfect image. Nothing captures the absurdity of modern hiring like demanding someone be simultaneously fresh out of college yet somehow possessing half a decade of professional experience. It's like asking a newborn to recite their memoir. Next they'll want your GitHub contributions from the womb and internship experience from preschool. The cognitive dissonance is so strong you can practically hear the recruiter saying "entry-level position" while typing "must have architected multiple distributed systems at scale."

The Immortal Tech Survivors

That one developer who somehow survived the tech apocalypse at Facebook/Amazon/Apple/Netflix/Google while everyone else got pink-slipped isn't human anymore. They've transcended mortality and become a cosmic deity through sheer corporate survivalism. Their legacy codebase is so tangled that firing them would literally break the universe. Not even ChatGPT could replace them because it would need therapy after seeing their undocumented code. Their Slack status? "Can't talk, holding entire AWS infrastructure together with duct tape and spite."

The Modern Tech Job Listing: Seeking Entire IT Department In Human Form

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of these job listings! 💀 What started as a joke is now the HORRIFYING REALITY of tech recruiting. They're not looking for a "full stack developer" - they're demanding a supernatural being who can single-handedly replace an ENTIRE IT DEPARTMENT while probably offering "competitive salary" (translation: barely above minimum wage). Next they'll require you to build a time machine so you can work 48 hours in a 24-hour day! And don't forget the "5+ years experience" in technologies that have existed for 2 years! The modern tech job market is basically just corporate execs screaming "DANCE, MONKEY, DANCE!" while throwing peanuts at desperate developers.

Just Improve Your Resume Bro

The classic tech industry paradox in four panels. Companies scream about dev shortages while rejecting perfectly good candidates. Meanwhile, entry-level devs can't even get interviews because they need 5 years of experience in a 2-year-old framework and a PhD in quantum computing to qualify for a junior position. The hiring manager's solution? Violence, apparently. Much easier than fixing broken ATS systems that filter out qualified candidates or reconsidering those "entry-level" job descriptions requiring 10 years of experience.

The Illusion Of Free Choice

The classic "illusion of free choice" strikes again! Whether you choose math or computer science, both paths lead to the same destination: unemployment. It's like picking between two different programming languages only to realize they both have the same bugs. That CS degree you spent 4 years and $100k on? Congrats, you've unlocked the premium unemployment package with extra student debt! The cow just staring at these options is all of us before choosing a STEM major, blissfully unaware we're heading for the same slaughterhouse of broken dreams and Stack Overflow dependencies.
