Junior developers Memes

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.

The classic senior developer paradox: your anxiety-fueled coding marathon just created two weeks of unemployment for your junior devs. Congratulations, you played yourself! That moment when your productivity is actually counterproductive for team dynamics. Now you're just sitting there with your face in your palm wondering if you should create some bugs on purpose just to keep everyone busy. Success has never felt so painful. Next time maybe save some debugging for the children instead of hoarding all the glory for yourself, you anxious overachiever.
