PhD In Theory, Intern In Practice

Nothing quite like watching someone with 8 years of academic research flex their theoretical knowledge while completely freezing up when asked to write a simple for-loop. The industry's full of these theoretical gymnasts who can explain quantum computing algorithms but struggle with Git basics. Meanwhile, the bootcamp grad who's been coding for 6 months is shipping features like it's nothing. The classic theory-practice gap in computer science is wider than the average developer's monitor setup.

Lemme Stick To Old Ways

The honeymoon phase with AI coding assistants is officially over! Senior developers are throwing their hands up after a few weeks of dealing with hallucinated functions, confidently incorrect syntax, and those magical solutions that somehow break everything else in your codebase. It's like watching your junior dev confidently refactor your entire auth system without understanding what OAuth actually does. Back to Stack Overflow and cryptic documentation we go - at least those don't pretend to understand your project architecture!

I've Seen Things

A mathematician stands at a crossroads, facing two programming paths. To the left, Python's sunny castle beckons with its friendly syntax and gentle learning curve. To the right, Haskell's dark fortress looms with lightning, pure functions, and monads that will make your brain melt. The mathematician just stands there, calculating which language will cause the optimal amount of suffering per line of code. Spoiler: they'll choose Haskell because apparently mathematicians enjoy pain.
