Gotta List 'Em All: The LinkedIn Pokédex

The ultimate tech resume flex: listing every framework, library, and tool you've ever glanced at for 0.5 seconds. "Purr" and "ditto" sitting there among TensorFlow and Kubernetes is peak resume padding genius. The real interview starts when you ask recruiters to identify which tech stack items are actually Pokémon names. Spoiler: at least three are. And honestly, with the way new JavaScript libraries pop up daily, who could even tell the difference anymore? Bonus points if you can spot "hadoop" listed twice. Resume padding so aggressive it needed backup.

Three Lines Of Code And A Thousand Lies

Python C++ Programming

1 month ago 146.8K views 0 shares

The eternal Python vs C++ showdown in its purest form. Python programmers strutting around claiming they can solve everything "in just 3 lines of code" while the buff, battle-hardened C++ programmer silently watches knowing those 3 lines are calling libraries that took thousands of lines of C++ to implement. Sure, you can one-liner your way through a problem with Python's abstractions, but somewhere a C++ dev is manually managing memory and optimizing assembly just so you can feel clever about your list comprehensions. It's the programming equivalent of taking credit for cooking dinner when you just ordered takeout.

We Have Uuid At Home

When your boss says "No, we can't use a UUID library" and you're left crafting this monstrosity. It's the programming equivalent of making a sandwich with a chainsaw - technically possible, but deeply concerning. The code is basically generating a fake UUID by replacing placeholders with random hex values. It's like putting on a fake mustache and hoping nobody notices you're not Tom Selleck. Works until it doesn't!

We Know Who's Important

Oh. My. GOD! The AUDACITY of the tech world in one perfect image! 😱 On the left, some poor soul announces they've literally BENT THE LAWS OF PHYSICS by creating a TIME MACHINE—you know, just casually REVOLUTIONIZING HUMAN EXISTENCE—and nobody gives a flying function about it! Meanwhile, the person on the right is absolutely SWARMED with media attention for... wait for it... "7 JavaScript libraries you should know about." SEVEN! LIBRARIES! The horror! The drama! The sheer absurdity of our priorities as a species! This is why we can't have nice things like time travel, people! We're too busy chasing the next hot npm package that will be deprecated faster than you can say "node_modules"! 💅

Usually Come Crawling Back Though

Look at me ignoring that README file like it's my ex's text messages. We've all been there—excitedly diving into a shiny new library, completely bypassing the documentation because "how hard could it be?" Then two hours later, after fighting bizarre errors and contemplating a career change to goat farming, we're crawling back to that README with our tail between our legs. The documentation was there the whole time, patiently waiting for us to admit we're not as clever as we thought. It's the programming circle of life.

The DIY Random Number Disaster

Senior devs watching juniors implement their own "random" number generator: 4... chosen by fair dice roll... guaranteed to be random. Nothing strikes fear into a cryptographer's heart quite like someone deciding to roll their own randomness. Sure, importing libraries feels like cheating, but at least your app won't have the security strength of a wet paper bag.

Sometimes I Even Understand It

The brutal self-awareness here is just *chef's kiss*. Modern development is basically Stack Overflow archaeology combined with npm install. We spend hours hunting for that perfect GitHub repo someone built 4 years ago, then act like computer whisperers when we successfully integrate their code with three minor tweaks. And the best part? We're ALL doing it! The entire software industry is just one giant game of copy-paste telephone, where we occasionally understand what we're pasting. But hey, standing on the shoulders of giants is still standing!

The Physical Manifestation Of Node_Modules

When your code requires so many dependencies that even your power strip needs a power strip. This monstrosity with "66 AC outlets" is basically npm install visualized in hardware form. Perfect for that developer who thinks "yeah, I'll just add one more library" 47 times in a row. Your electricity bill will crash faster than an electron app with a memory leak.

It's All Curl? Always Has Been

The existential crisis of every API client library ever created. You spend weeks crafting a beautiful wrapper with elegant abstractions, perfect error handling, and comprehensive documentation... only to realize you're just a glorified middleman for curl commands. Underneath all those fancy packages—Axios, Requests, Fetch API—they're all just pointing guns at each other while the astronaut of truth whispers: "It's just HTTP requests. It's always been curl with extra steps."

I Just Think They're Neat

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of project managers questioning my PRECIOUS collection of 1000+ unused libraries! 💅 Listen, sweetheart, I don't come to YOUR desk and question why you have 47 Gantt charts for a project that was supposed to be done LAST YEAR. These libraries are my emotional support dependencies! Some developers collect stamps, I collect npm packages that I might use someday in that hypothetical perfect project that exists only in my dreams. And YES, our build time is 4 hours and our node_modules folder is larger than the known universe, but LOOK AT ALL THESE PRETTY PACKAGES! They're just sitting there... being neat! Is that a crime now?!

Checkmate Evangelists

Rust evangelists: *screeching intensifies* when they discover 19.11% of Rust libraries use the unsafe keyword, while C++ sits smugly at the dinner table knowing it doesn't need to mark anything as unsafe because everything is potentially unsafe by default. It's like bragging about having 19.11% of your codebase labeled "might explode" while C++ just assumes you're smart enough to know the whole thing is a minefield. Memory safety theater at its finest!

Maintaining The Gaming Industry

The entire gaming industry rests precariously on a single developer maintaining ImGui—a beloved open-source UI library that powers countless game development tools. It's like discovering the entire multibillion-dollar gaming empire is balanced on one sleep-deprived programmer who's probably surviving on energy drinks and Stack Overflow karma. This is why we can't have nice things in tech—billion-dollar companies building their foundations on free libraries maintained by that one hero who never says no to a pull request. Next time a AAA game crashes, pour one out for Omar!
