Say The Line, Claude!

The Squirtle Squad of resume padding. Copy-pasting "print('Hello World')" in Rust and suddenly you're a "systems programming specialist with low-level memory management experience." Meanwhile, actual Rust developers watching you struggle to explain lifetimes during the interview. The classic "fake it till you make it" approach, except you never actually make it past the technical screening.

Content I hate this job WHYIS THIS HAPPENING TO MEEEE and I hate my life nevermind misspelled a Variable

Content Me: I just wrote my first Hello world program! People : Haha another naive beginne... Me: IN BINARY

HONEY, THE IMPOSTOR SYNDROME IS REAL! That's a black lab swimming with ducks who have NO IDEA they've been infiltrated by a completely different species! Just like when you've been copy-pasting ChatGPT code for a week straight and somehow convinced the entire engineering team you're a coding genius! The whole dev team is like "Great job on that algorithm!" while you're frantically Googling what a for-loop is. Swimming in a sea of competent developers while your brain is screaming "QUACK QUACK I'M TOTALLY A PROGRAMMER" is the most relatable thing ever. We're all just dogs in a duck pond pretending we know what we're doing!

In 2024, being able to write code without AI assistance has somehow become the new flex. It's like bragging about doing mental math while everyone else has calculators. We've reached a point where writing your own for-loops without Copilot whispering sweet suggestions in your ear is apparently considered a superpower that makes you irresistible. What a time to be alive—where basic programming skills have been rebranded as legendary chad behavior.

The most honest RFC template in existence. Rust developers proposing new features be like: "Here's my brilliant idea that would require someone else to do all the actual hard work." And then the alternatives section just cuts straight to the chase - "Don't do this." The perfect summary of open source feature requests where enthusiasm massively outweighs implementation willingness. The borrow checker might enforce memory safety, but it can't enforce follow-through on ambitious proposals!
