Rust Is Blazingly Fast (And We Won't Shut Up About It)

Rust Is Blazingly Fast (And We Won't Shut Up About It)
Nobody cares what language your backend is written in. They only care if it's fast. Yet every Rust developer seems physically incapable of describing their code without using the phrase "blazingly fast" at least 47 times per conversation. The cult-like obsession with Rust's performance is matched only by the collective eye-rolling of everyone forced to listen to another sermon about zero-cost abstractions and memory safety.

My Company Trying To Make Us Use ML

My Company Trying To Make Us Use ML
The corporate AI revolution in a nutshell! Management is gently cradling their precious ML/AI initiatives while the dev teams are just another bird in the hand. Classic case of "let's sprinkle some machine learning on everything" syndrome where leadership falls in love with buzzwords before understanding implementation realities. Meanwhile, the actual developers who have to integrate this stuff into legacy codebases are treated with the same enthusiasm as that other bird. The tender loving care disparity is just *chef's kiss* perfect.

The One Ring Of Tech Buzzwords

The One Ring Of Tech Buzzwords
The eternal battle between sales and engineering continues! Sales execs looking at new projects like they're discovering the One Ring to rule them all – "Let's sprinkle some blockchain and AI on it!" Meanwhile, developers are channeling their inner Aragorn with a firm "NO" that contains the exhaustion of a thousand pointless standups. It's the corporate version of "We have blockchain at home. The blockchain at home: an Excel spreadsheet with a password." The irony? Most projects that "need" blockchain and AI could be solved with a decent database and some if/else statements.

Web Scale: The Only Legacy That Matters

Web Scale: The Only Legacy That Matters
MongoDB's marketing team really nailed their priorities here. Forget trivial things like your compensation, burnout, or work-life balance - the only legacy that matters is knowing their database is "web scale." For the uninitiated, "web scale" became a tech buzzword after a famous parody video where a MongoDB enthusiast repeatedly screams "it's web scale!" while a MySQL user questions what that actually means. The phrase became shorthand for "sounds impressive but possibly meaningless tech jargon." Nothing says "I've made it in tech" quite like remembering marketing slogans instead of your actual life experiences. Your therapist would have a field day with this one.

Stop It Pls: When Memes Become Interview Questions

Stop It Pls: When Memes Become Interview Questions
That crushing moment when your industry's latest buzzword becomes your personal nightmare. While everyone's having a laugh about "vibe coding" (writing code based on feelings rather than logic), you're stuck in interview hell proving you actually know proper software engineering. Nothing says "fun career choice" like having to demonstrate that you don't just randomly place semicolons where they "feel right." The tech industry's obsession with trendy jokes somehow always translates into yet another obstacle between you and a paycheck.

Software Engineer (Real Job)

Software Engineer (Real Job)
Ah, the corporate jargon olympics! The more words it takes to explain what you do, the more likely you're part of the tech industry's elaborate charade. First guy: "I'm a SaaS-based fintech sales analyst" = I cold call people trying to sell spreadsheets. Second one: "I develop & maintain automated capabilities" = I wrote one Python script that sends emails. Third contestant: "I create systems to record blockchain data" = I made a fancy Excel sheet nobody uses. Meanwhile, the only honest soul in tech: "I catch fish." Straight to the point, tangible results, no buzzwords required. The beard and pipe are just bonus authenticity points. The brutal truth: if your job title needs a paragraph of explanation and three rounds of buzzword bingo, you might be compensating for something!

I Don't Know What Vibe Coding Is

I Don't Know What Vibe Coding Is
Ever been in a standup where everyone's dropping buzzwords like "vibe coding" and you're just nodding along? That's the coding equivalent of being at a party where everyone's discussing a TV show you've never watched. Fun fact: "Vibe Coding" isn't even a real programming paradigm (yet). But watch some startup make it one tomorrow—"Our engineers don't just write code, they vibe with it. Our proprietary Vibe-Driven Development methodology increases developer happiness by 420%."
