Coding After Midnight: The Haunted Rollercoaster

Content Joaquin the unpaid intern who was trying to add a new feature to Youtube but broke it.

The classic tech interview ambush! You're told "come as you are" for the interview, so you show up in your comfy black hoodie and jeans like a proper developer. Meanwhile, the interviewer is sitting there in full business attire looking at you like you just committed a merge conflict to production. This is the software engineering equivalent of a trap card. The unwritten rule of tech interviews: dress code is simultaneously "casual" and "business professional" until observed, existing in a quantum superposition that collapses into "wrong" the moment you make a choice.

Every programmer knows that dark journey. You start innocently searching for "how to center a div" and three hours later you're watching a tutorial on creating realistic fur shaders in WebGL by some guy who sounds like he hasn't slept in four days. The search for animation references is just the beginning of the rabbit hole that leads you to the disturbing underbelly of programming tutorials where people implement sorting algorithms with interpretive dance and explain pointer arithmetic while dressed as anime characters. The YouTube algorithm knows your weakness—it's not cat videos, it's "uncomfortably enthusiastic dev explaining RegEx at 3am."

HONEY, PLEASE! Why waste precious milliseconds of your life clicking on fancy browser icons when you can just wget your way to internet glory?! 💅 The top panel shows a disgusted rejection of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and Opera like they're last season's JavaScript frameworks. Meanwhile, the bottom panel reveals the TRUE internet connoisseur's choice - commanding the web through terminal like the ABSOLUTE ROYALTY you are. Who needs pretty UIs when you can feel like a hacker god with one command line? Terminal browsers - for when you're just TOO EVOLVED for graphics!

OH. MY. GOD. The AUDACITY of this person claiming they "use C++ in JavaScript" only to reveal they're just using the increment operator (c++) in a basic for loop! 💀 This is like saying you're fluent in Italian because you can order a pizza! The absolute BETRAYAL when they show their "C++" code and it's just a pathetic little counter printing numbers with line breaks. And everyone's losing their minds laughing because it's the programming equivalent of saying you're a chef because you can make toast. THE DRAMA! THE DECEPTION!
