Printed Hello World To Add Programmer To The Resume

Printed Hello World To Add Programmer To The Resume
Ah yes, the classic "I'm a computer programmer" resume padding. Notice how it's strategically placed at #5 on the career ladder, right between "Stock Room" and "Police Officer" – as if writing console.log("Hello World") once in a bootcamp somehow qualifies as a career milestone. The true programmer's path involves thousands of Stack Overflow visits and existential crises over semicolons, not a brief stopover between inventory management and law enforcement. This is the tech equivalent of claiming you're a chef because you once made toast.

Technical Skills In 2025

Technical Skills In 2025
The future of tech is clear: ChatGPT at the top, actual coding skills below it. By 2025, your ability to craft perfect prompts will apparently outrank your CS degree and cybersecurity expertise. Who needs algorithms when you can just type "write me a secure authentication system with zero vulnerabilities" and call it a day? The hierarchy has spoken—prompt engineering is the new programming. Time to replace your GitHub portfolio with screenshots of your ChatGPT conversations.

Comment Which Is True

Comment Which Is True
The grass is always greener, isn't it? Network engineers diving into programming get a magical unicorn wonderland experience. Meanwhile, programmers trying to learn networking find themselves in a literal dumpster fire. After 15 years in tech, I can confirm both are true. Network engineers think variables and functions are delightful toys compared to troubleshooting why a packet decided to take a vacation somewhere between routers. And programmers who venture into networking suddenly discover that "unreachable host" could mean 47 different things, none of which make any logical sense. The real truth? We're all suffering. Just in different colorful hells.

I Am The IT Department

I Am The IT Department
OH. MY. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of these job listings! 💀 Recruiters out here casually asking for someone who can juggle 17 different technologies spanning three programming languages, two frontend frameworks, three databases, four AWS services, Linux admin skills, testing methodologies, containerization, AND orchestration... all while probably offering "competitive salary" (translation: barely above minimum wage). Honey, they're not looking for a "Full Stack Developer" - they're looking for an ENTIRE COMPANY crammed into one exhausted human body! What's next? "Must also make coffee, unclog toilets, and occasionally perform heart surgery"?!

My Powers Have Doubled Since The Last Time We Met

My Powers Have Doubled Since The Last Time We Met
Startup devs are basically the dark side of the coding force. After two years of being the entire engineering department, security team, DevOps specialist, and occasional office plant waterer, you emerge with a chaotic skillset no bootcamp could ever teach you. Then you strut into a corporate job with your janky battle scars and unholy knowledge of duct-tape solutions that somehow work in production. The big company HR thinks they're getting a "Junior Developer" but what they're actually getting is a chaos wizard who's seen things no developer should see and lived to tell the tale. Your powers have indeed doubled—along with your caffeine tolerance and ability to fix impossible bugs with zero documentation.

Finding A Tech Job In 2025 Be Like

Finding A Tech Job In 2025 Be Like
The job market's final boss has arrived! On the left: a job description requiring mastery of 20+ technologies including AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, JavaScript, Python, Linux, security tools like CISSP and Palo Alto, plus NIST compliance and .NET. On the right: the actual job? Excel spreadsheet jockey. It's the classic tech industry bait-and-switch where companies demand you know how to build a nuclear reactor just to change the lightbulbs. The recruiter probably thinks "full-stack" means you can stack paper forms into a full pile.

$50K A Year For Sys Admin With 7 Years Experience, LOL

$50K A Year For Sys Admin With 7 Years Experience, LOL
Ah, the classic tech industry paradox! A grocery store wants a sysadmin with Cisco certifications, Azure experience, VMware skills, on-call hours, AND the ability to lift 50 pounds... all for the princely sum of $23.80/hour ($49,504/year). That's like asking someone who can build a nuclear reactor to also flip the burgers at the cafeteria for minimum wage. The real cherry on top? "Occasional lifting" and "on-call weekends" - because nothing says "we value your 7+ years of specialized technical expertise" like making you haul servers around and fix the CEO's printer at 2am on a Sunday for less than what some entry-level developers make. This is the tech equivalent of "we're looking for a brain surgeon with 10 years experience who also does plumbing, for the competitive salary of whatever we found in the couch cushions."

The Red Nub Of Experience

The Red Nub Of Experience
When someone's amazed by your technical wizardry but all you did was spend 15 years of your life staring at a keyboard with a trackpoint nub. Those little red nipples between the G and H keys have taught me more than any CS degree ever could. The silent badge of honor for those who've typed their fingers to the bone in the trenches of ThinkPad warfare.

I Think It Is A Reason To Give Him This Job

I Think It Is A Reason To Give Him This Job
The ultimate penetration test! When the interviewer asks "what makes you suitable for this job?" and the candidate drops the bomb: "I hacked your computer and invited myself for this interview." Talk about demonstrating your skills instead of just listing them on a resume! This is basically the tech equivalent of breaking into a bank vault to apply for a security guard position. Practical experience > theoretical knowledge. The real power move isn't sending a follow-up email after the interview—it's hacking the HR system to schedule the interview in the first place. Unauthorized access has never been so career-advancing!

This Is What HR Expects For An Entry Level

This Is What HR Expects For An Entry Level
Behold! The MYTHICAL CREATURE known as the "entry-level developer" according to job listings! 🙄 You want to break into tech? HONEY, PLEASE! First, master 17 programming languages, 3 cloud platforms, every database known to mankind, and while you're at it, BUILD AN OPERATING SYSTEM FROM SCRATCH! The audacity of HR expecting you to wear a "Full Stack Developer" hoodie while carrying a "@SeniorDeveloper" bag and being SURROUNDED by tech logos that would make even a 20-year veteran break into a cold sweat! Entry level position: Must know JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, C#, Ruby, Angular, Node.js, AWS, GCP, Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kotlin, Swift... and we're offering a WHOPPING $15/hour! But there's free coffee in the break room, so... TOTALLY WORTH IT, RIGHT?! 💅

The Linux Child Prodigy Exception

The Linux Child Prodigy Exception
The ultimate tech origin story flex! Someone suggests studying how childhood computer platforms affect problem-solving skills, but when a person casually drops "I installed Linux at age 12," the original poster immediately declares "Autistic children will be discluded for skewing results." 😂 It's the perfect encapsulation of the Linux user stereotype – those who voluntarily configure kernel parameters before hitting puberty are clearly operating at a different level. The rest of us were still figuring out how to set a desktop background while they were compiling their own drivers and writing bash scripts to automate their homework.

The Grass Is Always Greener On The Other Language

The Grass Is Always Greener On The Other Language
The programming language journey train has two very different passengers. Guy on the left is miserable learning Java while seeing Python jobs everywhere. Guy on the right is happily learning Python while surrounded by Java job postings. It's the classic "grass is always greener" syndrome that haunts every developer's career. No matter which tech stack you choose, you'll always feel like you picked the wrong one when scrolling through job boards. Ten years in the industry and I still can't decide if I should be learning Rust or holding onto my legacy C++ knowledge. Meanwhile the job market wants 10 years experience in a framework that was released last Tuesday.
