Tech recruiting Memes

Ah, the modern tech job posting—where companies want a single developer with the skills of seventeen specialists working for the price of one junior. The guy nails it perfectly. When recruiters list every technology under the sun—from three programming languages to multiple frameworks, databases, cloud services, DevOps tools, and system administration—they're basically asking for a unicorn who can replace their entire engineering team. After 15 years in the industry, I've seen job descriptions evolve from "Java developer" to "technical demigod who can single-handedly build, deploy, and maintain the entire digital infrastructure of a Fortune 500 company while also making coffee." And the best part? They'll still call it "entry-level" and offer you exposure instead of a proper salary.

The classic tech interview ambush! You're told "come as you are" for the interview, so you show up in your comfy black hoodie and jeans like a proper developer. Meanwhile, the interviewer is sitting there in full business attire looking at you like you just committed a merge conflict to production. This is the software engineering equivalent of a trap card. The unwritten rule of tech interviews: dress code is simultaneously "casual" and "business professional" until observed, existing in a quantum superposition that collapses into "wrong" the moment you make a choice.
