Technical Skills In 2025
The future of tech is clear: ChatGPT at the top, actual coding skills below it. By 2025, your ability to craft perfect prompts will apparently outrank your CS degree and cybersecurity expertise. Who needs algorithms when you can just type "write me a secure authentication system with zero vulnerabilities" and call it a day? The hierarchy has spoken—prompt engineering is the new programming. Time to replace your GitHub portfolio with screenshots of your ChatGPT conversations.

Already Got A Second Job
THE ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY of spending four years and $80,000 on a computer science degree only to end up serving McNuggets to people who probably think "Java" is just coffee! Meanwhile, your classmates who dropped out to make a silly app are now driving Teslas and buying houses. THE AUDACITY of the tech industry to make us believe we'd all be tech billionaires when the reality is more like "Would you like fries with your existential crisis?" 💀

Getting Clowned On By Philosophers
The tables have turned! After decades of philosophers being told "good luck finding a job," now they're smugly watching the software industry implode with layoffs, AI replacing entry-level devs, and 300 applicants fighting for each position. That "philosophy factory" joke hits different when you're on your fifth technical assessment for a junior role that requires 7 years of experience in a 3-year-old framework. Maybe Socrates had it right all along—true wisdom is knowing you'll never pass the hiring manager's impossible requirements.

Do You Mean Unemployment
SWEET MOTHER OF CAREER SUICIDE! 😱 Searching for "go for ui" and DuckDuckGo has the AUDACITY to suggest "unemployment" as a related term?! The search engine isn't just returning results—it's predicting your ENTIRE FUTURE! Apparently learning UI in Go is the digital equivalent of writing your own professional obituary. The algorithm knows what happens to those brave souls who venture down this path—their LinkedIn profiles slowly fade into oblivion as they're consumed by bizarre component libraries no human should ever have to endure. The machine has SPOKEN, darling, and it's basically saying "abandon hope all ye who enter here!"

Where's My Job?
LinkedIn tells you that you appeared in 367 searches this week, but somehow those 367 recruiters all ghosted you. The job market in a nutshell - companies desperately "searching" for talent while developers desperately search for companies that actually respond to applications. It's like a dating app where everyone swipes right but nobody messages first.

Alternate Business Of LeetCode
When your technical interview prep feels like protection against getting completely screwed by the industry. These LeetCode condoms are the perfect metaphor for what the platform actually does - gives you a false sense of security while the algorithm problems still manage to f*ck you anyway. At least now you can say "I was prepared" while crying in the rejection email corner.

It's Too Late For Me
Ah, the classic tech industry paradox! Job listings demanding a decade of experience from people who've barely had time to learn how to tie their shoes. This baby's got the right idea—start cramming HTML before you can even form complete sentences. Next up on the reading list: "React for Toddlers" and "Kubernetes Before Kindergarten." The tech hiring market is so absurd that we're basically expecting fetuses to have contributed to open source projects. Should've started coding in the womb if you wanted that entry-level position!

It's Too Late For Me
Ah yes, the classic tech job paradox: "Entry-level position: requires decade of experience." This baby's getting a head start on their career by diving into HTML before they can even form sentences. Next week they'll be building responsive websites, and by preschool, they'll be architecting enterprise solutions with 15 years of React experience (despite React only existing for 10). The tech industry's expectations are so reasonable that we're now forcing infants to skip crawling and go straight to coding. Cradle to keyboard pipeline is real.

The New Tech Giants Acronym Just Dropped
Remember when FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) was the dream destination for every code monkey with a computer science degree? Well, move over grandpa, because now it's all about GAYMAN - Google, Amazon, Y(ahoo?), Meta, Apple, Nvidia. The tech landscape shifts faster than my git branch strategy. These six horsemen of the apocalypse now control whether your resume gets tossed in the bin or your salary hits six figures. Funny how we measure our worth by which corporate logo sits on our LinkedIn profile. Peak capitalism wrapped in RGB lighting.

The Great AI Gold Rush Of 2025
Nothing like the sweet smell of career arbitrage in the morning. Just slap "AI" on your LinkedIn profile and watch your market value triple while recruiters trip over themselves to throw gold bars at you. Meanwhile, you're still running the same SQL queries and data pipelines you were last week, but now you're an "AI visionary" commanding a small fortune. The industry's collective amnesia about what skills actually matter is the gift that keeps on giving. Capitalism at its finest, folks.

Time Dilation: The Ultimate Job Hack
The time dilation joke hits harder than a production outage on Friday afternoon! This scene from Interstellar perfectly captures the absurdity of job requirements in tech. Companies casually asking for "5+ years experience" in technologies that have existed for 3 years, while junior devs need to somehow accumulate decades of experience just to get their foot in the door. The cosmic irony is that even if you traveled to a planet where time moves differently and somehow aged your GitHub contributions by 7 years, HR would still ask, "But do you have experience with our proprietary in-house framework that nobody else uses?"

The Missing Developer Category
When Amazon asks you to "Add a new member" but forgets the most important category: "Junior Developer - 10 years experience required." That awkward gap between 12 and 18 is where all the tech recruiters find their "entry-level" candidates with impossible qualifications. Somehow they expect you to be both a child prodigy and a seasoned veteran simultaneously. Next they'll rebrand to "Amazon Extended Family" and add a "Senior Developer - 3 months old with 30 years Rust experience" option.
