The Butterfly Effect: Tech Edition

THE ABSOLUTE HORROR of admitting you're still using an HDD in 2023! Everyone GASPS! The room falls SILENT! Your developer friends look at you with such PITY and DISGUST, like you just confessed to coding in Notepad or still using Internet Explorer! DARLING, the loading times! THE LOADING TIMES! How do you even FUNCTION waiting those EXCRUCIATING extra seconds for your IDE to open?! It's basically technological TORTURE at this point! Next thing you'll tell me is that you don't have RGB lighting on your keyboard either! *faints dramatically*

Ah, the recruiter who's shocked that someone answers the phone like a normal human instead of reciting their entire LinkedIn profile. Same energy as those senior devs who expect junior applicants to solve a red-black tree algorithm while standing on one foot before saying "hello." The irony is delicious - a recruiter who probably cold-calls 50 people a day is suddenly offended that someone doesn't answer with a rehearsed speech. Next they'll want us to answer Slack messages with our full name, title, and a statement of purpose. Pro tip: If you're expecting a specific call, maybe save the number in your contacts? Technology is amazing that way. But what do I know, I've only been answering phones with "hello" for 20 years while somehow managing to hold down a job.
