Circuit Board Couture: The Real Tech Domination

Circuit Board Couture: The Real Tech Domination
Spent 15 years in tech and the only "domination" I've seen is guys wearing circuit board patterned clothes and arguing about tabs vs spaces. The irony of claiming CS is male-dominated while rocking that circuit board top is *chef's kiss*. Meanwhile, the actual field is begging for diversity because we're tired of the same three personalities in every standup meeting.

The Hacker Request That Causes Visible Shaking

The Hacker Request That Causes Visible Shaking
Nothing triggers a programmer's fight-or-flight response quite like someone casually asking "Can you hack someone?" as if we're all secretly cyber criminals with a side hustle in identity theft. The visible shaking isn't from caffeine overdose this time—it's the pure existential dread of explaining for the 500th time that writing a React component and breaking into the Pentagon are slightly different skill sets. Next time someone asks, just reply "Yes, but only on Tuesdays when Mercury is in retrograde and my RGB keyboard is set to purple." Works every time.

Would This Help You?

Would This Help You?
Ah yes, because nothing fixes a codebase like having someone in cat ears cheering you on while you debug that race condition. Instead of better pay, work-life balance, or modern equipment, these companies decided "you know what would make our devs more productive? Having attractive women stand behind them while they stare at Stack Overflow all day." Next up: motivational speakers who whisper "have you tried turning it off and on again?" directly into your ear while you're trying to concentrate. The real 10x developer hack was cheerleaders all along! Who knew fixing that memory leak just needed some pom-poms and validation?

Ah, the classic "Google search suggestions" meme with Pepe looking concerned. Nothing like society's collective search history to remind us where we stand in the pecking order. After 20 years in this industry, I can confirm we're all just weird losers who jump at the sound of a production alert. The "not engineers" one hits particularly hard for those of us who spent $100K on CS degrees only to be told "real engineers build bridges." The truth hurts, but at least we can afford therapy with our six-figure salaries that we spend entirely on mechanical keyboards and energy drinks.
