New Hire Onboarding: Expectations vs. Reality

Ah, the beautiful delusion of Day 1. "I'll quickly get up and running..." they say, right before meeting the crimson wall of dependency hell. What they don't tell you in the interview is that your first two weeks will be spent wrestling with environment setup, missing packages, incompatible versions, and permission errors that make you question your career choices. The real coding challenge isn't algorithms—it's getting your development environment to stop screaming at you in angry red text. By the time you actually write your first line of production code, you'll have aged approximately 7 years.

So C++ Was Designed To Be Enjoyable...

Stroustrup in 1987: "C++ is designed to make programming more enjoyable for the serious programmer." Programmers for the next 36 years: *crying while debugging memory leaks, fighting with template metaprogramming, and questioning life choices after seeing error messages longer than the entire codebase* Nothing says "enjoyable" quite like manually managing pointers at 3AM while questioning if you should've just become a farmer instead.

No Way This Is How Ads For Programmers Are

Behold, the final form of tech recruitment marketing! Some poor soul manually grinding LeetCode problems with a frowny face, checkmarks for "Shitty job," "No money," and "No girlfriend" versus the mythical "Chad" who outsources his algorithmic suffering to an AI tool and magically acquires a "FAANG job," "$600k total comp," and "Two girlfriends." Because clearly, the only thing standing between you and beach-lounging with multiple romantic partners is... *checks notes*... not solving merge sort by hand? The desperation in this ad is so thick you could debug it with a breakpoint.

When You Realize How Old Everything Is

That moment when your high-end gaming rig with 32GB RAM and RTX 4090 can barely handle a remastered version of a game from 2003. You excitedly select "Auto Detect Quality" expecting it to max out everything, only for the system to take one look at the spaghetti code underneath the shiny new textures and go "Yeah... let's set this to medium." Your $3000 machine just got humbled by legacy code that was written when 512MB of RAM was considered excessive. The real remaster was the existential crisis we gained along the way.
