Show Me Your Code, Not Your Credentials

Billionaire needs "hardcore" engineers for his "everything app" but doesn't care about credentials—just wants to see your code. Translation: "Please do a free coding challenge so we can harvest your ideas while dangling the possibility of employment." Ten-year veterans know the drill. Send in your "Hello World" program and call it a day. The real "everything app" is the burnout we collected along the way.

The Dependency Death March

The journey from "I just need to backup my Android ROM" to "please end my suffering" is the quintessential Python dependency nightmare we've all lived through. What starts as a simple task spirals into a hellscape of version conflicts, missing build tools, and that special circle of dependency hell where you need a specific ancient version of OpenSSL that can only be found in digital archaeology expeditions. The best part? After all that rage, all those installs, and contemplating a career change to goat farming... it still doesn't work. Welcome to modern development, where the real project is just getting your environment set up.

Never Ask A Vibe Coder About Their Commits

Social etiquette has rules: don't ask women their age or men their salary. But the REAL taboo? Asking developers to explain their commit messages. "Fixed stuff" could mean anything from a minor CSS tweak to preventing the entire codebase from imploding. "Minor changes" might have rewritten the authentication system. And that cryptic "WIP" from 2019? It's now load-bearing code nobody dares to touch. The commit history is less documentation and more of a psychological thriller where "refactoring" is code for "I broke everything and fixed it before anyone noticed."
