The office Memes

Job listings these days are basically a tech buzzword bingo card. Left side: backend technologies like Postgres, Kafka, Kubernetes. Right side: frontend stack with React, Vue, and Tailwind. And recruiters? They want you to be an expert in all of it . The painful truth every developer knows: companies post "entry-level" positions requiring mastery of 15 different technologies, 8 years of experience, and probably the ability to refactor legacy code while blindfolded. Meanwhile, the actual job is maintaining a CRUD app from 2012. The cherry on top? The salary is "competitive" – which translates to "we'll pay you half what you're worth but hey, we have free snacks in the break room!"

Oh snap! This is peak programmer humor right here! 😂 Shakespeare's famous quote "To be or not to be" gets a Boolean logic makeover! In programming, "OR" returns TRUE if either condition is true, so "To be XOR not to be" would actually evaluate to FALSE only when both conditions are the same! Dwight from The Office is technically correct (the best kind of correct) - it should be "To be XOR not to be" if you want mutual exclusivity! This is what happens when English majors try to code or programmers try to parse literature! *pushes glasses up nose excitedly*
