Hacking The AI Job Gatekeepers

2 days ago 59.3K views 0 shares

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

Programming

8 days ago 77.4K views 0 shares

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

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

26 days ago 82.9K views 0 shares

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."

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!

Would You Hire Him

Programming Git StackOverflow

Nothing triggers impostor syndrome quite like scrolling through GitHub and finding Luigi here with dual CS degrees from an Ivy League school, 3500 followers, and probably a contribution graph that looks like a Manhattan skyline. Meanwhile, you're still struggling to center a div and your most impressive achievement is fixing a bug by restarting your computer. The cherry on top? He's probably 22 and already has FAANG offers while you're surviving on Stack Overflow copypasta and praying nobody reviews your code too carefully. But hey, at least you know how to exit Vim... sometimes.

State Of Certifications: No Hands On

AWS Devops Programming Cloud

1 month ago 113.2K views 0 shares

The classic certification-vs-reality gap strikes again. Someone shows up to an interview flaunting 12 AWS certifications, only to reveal they've never actually touched the AWS console. It's like having 12 different driver's licenses but asking "what's a steering wheel?" when you get in the car. The hiring manager's face says it all - another resume padder who can pass multiple-choice tests but would crash production on day one.

Found A Really Fun One

Oh my goodness, this is PEAK resume padding energy! 😂 That one sad little "Hello World" program standing awkwardly among your professional projects like it BELONGS there! Nothing screams "desperate to fill white space" like putting your first-ever for-loop next to your actual accomplishments! It's the coding equivalent of listing "proficient at Microsoft Word" when applying to be a senior developer! The contrast is just *chef's kiss* perfect - your fancy React project right next to "I once made a calculator that sometimes works"!

Ah yes, the classic tech interview credential paradox, perfectly captured by "Former Child" as the only qualification. Nothing says "I can reverse a binary tree" quite like bragging that you've successfully completed the tutorial level of human existence. Tech companies want 5 years of experience in a framework that's 3 years old, but hey—I've been breathing for 25 years straight without a single outage! That's 99.9999% uptime, baby. Resume padding has never been so honest.
