Tech interviews Memes

That murderous rage when HR hires someone who claims "5 years of experience" but can't figure out how to clone a Git repository. Senior devs transforming into anime villains as they watch the new hire struggle with basic terminal commands while earning nearly the same salary. The dark energy isn't just for show—it's the physical manifestation of having to explain what a constructor is for the fifth time this week.

The tech industry's greatest magic trick: turning whiteboard algorithms into a career of Stack Overflow searches. That tiny blue bar represents the actual skills you'll use daily—git, debugging, and asking good questions. Meanwhile, that towering red bar is all the obscure sorting algorithms and binary tree inversions you crammed for, only to spend your actual job googling "how to center div" for the 47th time. The real skill? Surviving the technical hazing ritual we call "the interview process" while pretending those skills will totally transfer to your day job.

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.

First frame: Guy confidently throws out some pretentious nonsense about programming vs scripting languages. Second frame: Girl asks a basic programming question that any self-respecting developer should know. Third frame: Guy's entire facade crumbles as he realizes he's been exposed as someone who talks big but can't answer fundamental questions. The brutal truth is we've all been that guy at some point. Talking philosophical BS about programming paradigms but then freezing when asked if a language has array.includes() . The eternal impostor syndrome is justified sometimes.

THE AUDACITY of job listings these days! 😤 The top panel shows some corporate suit LYING through his teeth with "You don't need to have the skills of an entire dev team" while the bottom panel reveals the BRUTAL truth: "If those kids could read they'd be very upset." Every. Single. Job. Posting. Ever. Wants a "full-stack ninja rockstar unicorn wizard" who can somehow do the work of 17 people for entry-level pay! The disconnect is so catastrophic it should have its own disaster relief fund! Meanwhile, all of us developers are just standing there like Bobby Hill, clutching our single programming language and wondering if we should have learned Kubernetes, React, and quantum physics before breakfast. THE HORROR!

The ultimate reverse interview technique! Instead of companies giving you a "trial task" to evaluate your skills, why not flip the script and get paid to evaluate their competence? It's like unit testing a company's management before committing to the full production environment. The number of tech companies that fail this basic responsibility test would crash the entire recruitment system.

That awkward silence when someone assumes your years of experience translate to actual competence. Ten years of programming and still googling how to center a div or exit Vim. Some of us have just been making the same mistakes with increasing confidence for a decade. It's not the years in the code, it's the code in the years.
