It's Tough Out Here: Good Luck
Oh. My. GOD. The AUDACITY of tech hiring! 💀 You spend WEEKS preparing, nail SEVEN interviews like some kind of coding superhero, charm the CEO with your brilliant personality, and then... NOTHING . The sheer emotional whiplash from "I crushed this" to "We regret to inform you..." is the tech industry's most sadistic rollercoaster. And they have the NERVE to say "the market is competitive" when what they really mean is "we're going to ghost you harder than your ex after borrowing your Netflix password." The job search trauma is REAL, people!

Average Developer's Dating Experience
Dating as a developer is like debugging without documentation - painful but occasionally educational. Sure, she ghosted you faster than a failed Jenkins build, but hey, at least someone outside Stack Overflow now understands Java's entry point! That small victory almost makes up for eating microwave ramen alone tonight while contemplating whether relationships are just another stateful system you can't properly maintain.

Finally Landed A Job (Thanks Dad!)
The modern job hunt, visualized in all its soul-crushing glory! Out of 6 applications, 5 interviews, and what happened? 2 rejections, 1 call from the police (background check gone wrong?), and the only acceptance came from... wait for it... the company where Dad is the owner. Meritocracy at its finest! Nothing says "I earned this on my own" like having your parent's name on the building. Silicon Valley dream achieved through the ancient technology of nepotism.

Sad Linux From Scratch User
Nothing says "I'm not interested in you" quite like feigning interest in your 4-hour Linux installation tutorial. You spent three dates explaining partitioning schemes and kernel compilation while she quietly plotted her escape route. That tiny penguin tattoo on her arm? Just a coincidence. The harsh truth is she'd rather use Windows ME than listen to another word about your custom bash scripts. Next time, maybe lead with "Netflix and chill" instead of "Let me show you how to compile from source."

No As A Service

No As A Service
In a world where everything is becoming "as a Service" (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS), someone finally created the most useful service of all: rejection automation. This person's hoodie proudly declares their business model - saying "No" so you don't have to! For just $4.99/month, they'll decline all your meeting invites, reject pull requests with insufficient tests, and automatically respond "Have you checked Stack Overflow?" to all questions. The enterprise tier includes custom rejection templates and a "Maybe Later" option that recursively schedules itself to infinity. The irony? Their API documentation consists of a single endpoint that always returns 403 Forbidden.

Glad To Hear You Never
That gleeful smile when your 15 years of coding experience, 3 GitHub repos with 1000+ stars, and custom-built compiler don't match their automated keyword filter looking for "5+ years experience in a framework released 2 years ago." Your resume never stood a chance against the mighty ATS that can't tell Python from a snake. But hey, at least they'll send you a rejection email in 6-8 business months!

Rejected In Less Than A Minute
When your resume gets rejected faster than a PR with 500 merge conflicts. The timestamps don't lie - Accenture managed to both welcome and dump this poor developer in the same minute. That's efficiency you can't teach. Somewhere, a recruiter is getting promoted for optimizing the rejection pipeline to sub-60-second latency.

The Only Purpose Internet Explorer Serves
Internet Explorer's sole purpose in life has been reduced to downloading other browsers. The little blue 'e' desperately seeks validation—"Hey does anyone need me?"—only to be met with cold rejection. But then! A glimmer of hope when someone finally needs it... just to download Firefox. The circle of browser life continues. The only time IE gets any attention is when you've formatted your PC and need something—ANYTHING—to download Chrome, Firefox, or literally any other browser. It's like being the ladder that helps someone climb up, only to be kicked away immediately after.
