Ah, the classic "I'll just fix this myself" syndrome that every tech lead eventually develops.

The real flex isn't their technical prowess—it's their ability to convince recruiters that changing a CSS variable is worth $250k.

Academia's best-kept secret is that we're all just stackoverflow copypasta with student debt.
