The job market for programmers in a nutshell! Everyone's turning down opportunities until someone mentions PHP, and suddenly there's a disturbance in the force. That desperate "for PHP" reveal is the programming equivalent of saying you need someone to clean portable toilets at a music festival. Suddenly the room goes silent, lightning strikes, and the only person left is that one dev who hasn't updated their resume since 2006.

After those 4 days of debugging hell, you'll find it, add it, and feel simultaneously like the world's biggest genius and complete idiot. Relationships come and go, but the trauma of missing semicolons is forever.
