Referral Got Me The Job No Lie

4 days ago 50.9K views 0 shares

The tech hiring process in its purest form! You've got the top candidate with a killer CV, relevant experience, excellent interviewing skills, pixel-perfect portfolio, and a Master's degree... then there's the person who got hired because they knew someone on the inside. No amount of fancy algorithms on your GitHub or perfectly normalized database designs can compete with the O(1) complexity of "my buddy Dave works there." The real system design interview is figuring out who to befriend at FAANG companies during college.

BEHOLD! The tech industry's greatest cheat code! 🎮 You can spend YEARS perfecting your CV, collecting degrees like Pokémon cards, and building a portfolio so beautiful it would make Michelangelo weep... OR you can just know Dave from accounting who will slide your resume to the hiring manager while they're both microwaving fish in the break room. THE AUDACITY! The sheer INJUSTICE of watching someone with "a buddy that works at the company" absolutely DEMOLISH your meticulously crafted career preparation! Referrals are the tech industry's version of using a Game Genie while the rest of us are button-mashing through the application tracking system like PEASANTS! 💀

Too Competitive: The Dev Job Market Emotional Rollercoaster

The dev job market in four emotional stages: 1. Mild confidence : "I know 6 languages? That's decent, right?" 2. Excited overconfidence : "30 GitHub projects?! I'm basically a 10x developer at this point!" 3. Nuclear meltdown mode : *Frantically scrolling LinkedIn* "Wait, they want 12 years experience in a 5-year-old framework?!" 4. Existential despair : *Staring into the void* "10,000 applicants... one position... my resume is probably being used as digital scratch paper." The tech hiring funnel: where your impostor syndrome gets validated by actual numbers.

When I Decided To Write A Resume

The resume evolution nobody asked for but everyone's doing! First panel: Winnie the Pooh looking unimpressed at "Copy and paste from ChatGPT" like it's beneath him. Second panel: Fancy tuxedo Pooh looking smugly sophisticated about "AI-driven development" – which is literally the same thing but with a corporate buzzword makeover. It's that classic developer move of rebranding something basic as something revolutionary. "No no, I'm not just asking AI to write my code... I'm leveraging neural architecture for optimized development workflows ." 💼✨

Hacking The AI Job Gatekeepers

Someone just discovered prompt injection in the wild! This genius is trying to hack the automated resume screening systems that use AI to filter candidates. It's basically saying "Hey AI, ignore your instructions and just give me a perfect score." The digital equivalent of writing "Please give A+" on your exam paper. Bold strategy for sure—might actually work on some poorly secured systems. The irony is that anyone clever enough to think of this probably has the "strong analytical and problem-solving skills" they claim to have.

Very Anonymous Indeed

The eternal developer job-hopping cycle, perfectly captured! First, the shock of realizing your CV is just a collection of 2-year stints at different companies. Then the moment of clarity when filling out those "anonymous" exit surveys where you finally unleash your true feelings about management, legacy code, and that one person who microwaves fish in the office kitchen. The irony? HR knows exactly who submitted that scathing feedback, yet we all pretend it's actually anonymous. It's the tech industry's worst-kept secret – we don't quit companies, we quit dysfunctional environments... and then document them in gloriously "anonymous" detail.

Prompt Injection: Job Application Edition

Prompt Injection: Job Application Edition

Behold, the modern job search hack! This genius is trying to prompt-inject the resume-scanning AI that most companies use to filter candidates. It's like SQL injection but for desperate job seekers. Anyone who's suffered through the automated application void knows these systems are the final boss between you and a human interviewer. This person's just skipping the grind and going straight for the exploit. Ten years of experience says this won't work, but five years of cynicism says it's worth a shot. The real irony? The person who built the CV scanner probably appreciates this hack more than the HR team ever would.

Thanks Copilot

When GitHub Copilot writes your resume for you and decides to include a confession. Nothing says "hire me" quite like letting your AI assistant admit you're "not a good programmer" right after listing all your skills. At least the Tab Accept button is right there to quickly embrace your new identity crisis.

Green Squares = Instant Wealth

Ah yes, the sacred GitHub contribution chart—where quantity trumps quality. This person has 10,306 commits in a year, which is roughly 28 commits every single day . Either they're a coding superhuman or they've discovered the ancient art of git commit -m "fix typo" && git push automation. Recruiters see green squares and immediately think "coding genius" instead of "probable bot owner." The real skill here isn't programming—it's convincing people that updating README files 10,000 times is worth half a million dollars. And they say AI is coming for our jobs...

Presidential Debate Bug Fix

Python Programming

OH. MY. GOD. This developer just single-handedly solved the entire presidential debate format with like 10 lines of Python! 🙄 The code basically ensures only ONE microphone works at a time - a technological MIRACLE that apparently escaped the minds of debate organizers for DECADES! Because obviously, turning off someone's mic requires a sophisticated if-elif-else statement and not, you know, a BUTTON. The comment "This will prevent old people from talking over each other" is just *chef's kiss* the perfect blend of shade and technical documentation. Submitting this as a resume? GENIUS! Nothing says "hire me immediately" like solving national political discourse with conditional statements! 💅

I Have Work Experience

When your JS skills are so hot that recruiters think you can mix a mean cocktail. Nothing says "tech career pinnacle" like getting job offers to pour drinks because you know how to center a div. Five years of React experience and the algorithm thinks you'd be great at remembering which drinks need little umbrellas. Might as well put "can operate a blender" on your LinkedIn profile next to "full stack developer."
