The Art Of Selective Blindness

todo-memes, technical-debt-memes, code-comments-memes, procrastination-memes, developer-habits-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Selective blindness is a core developer skill. Those TODOs are like the digital equivalent of that pile of laundry you've been stepping over for weeks. Sure, they're there, screaming for attention with their all-caps urgency, but acknowledging them would mean actually having to do something about them. Better to just pretend they don't exist until code review forces your hand. Future you can deal with it – that guy's always been a bit of a sucker anyway.

Vibe Bugging

Nothing says "modern developer" quite like pasting ChatGPT responses into production and calling yourself "full-stack." The sad Pepe frog knows the truth – your stack is just HTML you barely understand, vibes you're desperately faking, and bugs you can't fix without asking AI for help again. The tears aren't from debugging; they're from the realization that your entire career is held together by prompts and prayers.

The Three Language Flex

The eternal developer job interview charade! Someone proudly claims they know "3 languages" which sounds impressive until they're pressed to name them. Turns out it's just the frontend trinity of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. The interviewer's polite "thank you" speaks volumes—like claiming you're a polyglot because you know English, American English, and Australian English. Not exactly the C++, Rust, and Haskell flex they were hoping for. The classic "I'm a full-stack developer" starter pack strikes again!

Why Aren't You Playing By The Rules Of The Game

The modern tech hiring process in all its absurd glory! Companies expect candidates to endure multiple assessments, tech screens, and interviews like some twisted loyalty test. Meanwhile, developers with options are just like "nope, found someone who values my time and pays me what I'm worth." The recruiter's meltdown is the chef's kiss - they're not mad you didn't get the job, they're mad you didn't properly submit to their ridiculous gauntlet. Nothing more satisfying than skipping straight to the offer while HR is still planning your fourth interview about how you'd escape from a blender if you were the size of a peanut.
