I Found A Job (That Costs $500 A Week)
Ah, the dream job has finally arrived. Not only do you get to work for free as a "Prompt Engineer," but you also pay $500 weekly for the privilege of... doing unpaid work. It's basically an expensive subscription to pretend you have a job. Next up: paying for air to breathe in the office. The recruiter probably thinks they're being generous by not charging for bathroom breaks.

Free Labor With A Side Of Competition
The eternal developer nightmare: being asked to build something "for the experience" while someone else profits from your work. That school project is basically saying "Hey kids, compete against each other to build our website for free, and maybe we'll give you a gold star!" The kicker? You're not just doing unpaid work—you're doing unpaid work with the added pressure of a competition. It's like being asked to interview for a job by building their entire product first. Next thing you know, they'll ask students to "redesign the school's enterprise database system for extra credit."

Last Day Of Unpaid Internship
THE ULTIMATE REVENGE PLOT! Behold the glorious moment of sweet, sweet vengeance as our unpaid intern commits the cardinal sin of tech - exposing the company's API key to the ENTIRE INTERNET! 💅 That's right, honey! After months of free labor and "experience," they're leaving a parting gift that'll have the senior devs SCREAMING at 2AM when the AWS bill hits astronomical levels. The digital equivalent of burning the building down on your way out. Petty? Perhaps. Justified? ABSOLUTELY. Now some random hacker can enjoy all those premium services the company was too cheap to pay their interns for!

Amazing Opportunity (To Work For Free)
Ah yes, the classic startup "opportunity" where you can trade actual money for the possibility of future money! The red flag is so big it could guide ships through fog. Translation: "We can't afford developers but we're pretty sure our idea is the next Facebook. Trust us, bro." Zero applicants after three weeks? Shocking! Almost as if professional developers enjoy paying rent and buying food. The audacity of calling unpaid work a "stake in our future" instead of what it really is—gambling with your time.

Just Shoot Me Instead
The only thing worse than being shot at? Someone pitching their "revolutionary app idea" with zero budget and expecting you to build it for exposure and a mythical share of future profits. That moment when you'd rather face armed soldiers than another person who thinks their "Uber but for dog walkers" concept is worth billions, yet they can't afford to pay you actual money. The best part? They always say "it's simple" right before describing something that would require a team of 20 engineers and six months of development. But hey, they're "idea people" - the hard part is already done!

School Project More Like Free Website
OH. MY. GOD. The AUDACITY of schools asking students to compete in creating their website only to STEAL THE WINNER'S WORK! 🙄 It's the corporate equivalent of saying "Hey kids, design my logo for free, and I'll give the winner a shoutout on Instagram!" Except the prize is... absolutely nothing but the privilege of having your work exploited! Congratulations, you've just experienced your first taste of the tech industry's favorite pastime: getting professional work done for the bargain price of a gold star and a pat on the head! 💀
