Polyglot programmer Memes

Ah yes, the classic developer flex that immediately backfires. Nothing says "I'm a polyglot programmer" quite like admitting your extensive portfolio consists entirely of printing "Hello World" in 37 different languages. The painful truth is we've all done this in job interviews, meetups, or on resumes. "Proficient in Java, Python, Ruby, and C++" usually translates to "I once got a for-loop working in each after three hours of Stack Overflow research." The real programming expertise isn't knowing how to write in multiple languages—it's knowing which one to avoid for your next project.
