Ah, the recruiter who's shocked that someone answers the phone like a normal human instead of reciting their entire LinkedIn profile. Same energy as those senior devs who expect junior applicants to solve a red-black tree algorithm while standing on one foot before saying "hello." The irony is delicious - a recruiter who probably cold-calls 50 people a day is suddenly offended that someone doesn't answer with a rehearsed speech. Next they'll want us to answer Slack messages with our full name, title, and a statement of purpose. Pro tip: If you're expecting a specific call, maybe save the number in your contacts? Technology is amazing that way. But what do I know, I've only been answering phones with "hello" for 20 years while somehow managing to hold down a job.

The classic tech industry paradox in four panels. Companies scream about dev shortages while rejecting perfectly good candidates. Meanwhile, entry-level devs can't even get interviews because they need 5 years of experience in a 2-year-old framework and a PhD in quantum computing to qualify for a junior position. The hiring manager's solution? Violence, apparently. Much easier than fixing broken ATS systems that filter out qualified candidates or reconsidering those "entry-level" job descriptions requiring 10 years of experience.

Programmers crawling through the desert, dying of thirst, desperately reaching for "AI" only to find out it's just regular AI. But wait—there's salvation ahead: Meta AI ! Because clearly what we needed wasn't water or job security, but AI that's been through another layer of abstraction. The joke here is that Meta (Facebook's parent company) slapped their brand on AI and suddenly programmers are crawling past it like it's an oasis in the desert. We've gone from "AI will replace us" to "Meta AI will replace us" and somehow that's supposed to be better? The tech industry's obsession with rebranding the same thing and calling it revolutionary never gets old. Tomorrow it'll probably be "Quantum Meta AI" and we'll still be crawling.
