The FAANG Salary Delusion

faang-memes, salary-memes, software-architecture-memes, junior-developers-memes, tech-industry-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The FAANG junior dev superiority complex is too real. While architects at normal companies are designing complex systems with years of experience, FAANG juniors are strutting around like they've solved P=NP because they earn six figures to maintain a button color in a microservice. Sure, they make 3x the salary, but they'll spend 5 years optimizing one function that decides if a notification dot should be red or slightly-less-red. The real flex isn't their technical prowess—it's their ability to convince recruiters that changing a CSS variable is worth $250k.

Most Useful Languages To Learn In 2025

Ah, the classic programmer identity crisis. Someone asked for the most useful programming languages for 2025 and got Swift, C++, Go, and JavaScript mixed in with French, Japanese, Arabic, and German. Guess the algorithm can't tell the difference between talking to computers and talking to humans. Probably trained on Stack Overflow comments where both are equally incomprehensible. At least they didn't recommend COBOL - that would've been a real sign of AI hallucination.

When You Get A Ticket For A Bugfix In The Part Of The Codebase That Hasn't Been Touched In 10 Years

Oh sweet summer child! The Project Manager cheerfully invites the Developer into the radioactive wasteland of legacy spaghetti code like it's just a quick trip to the coffee machine. "20 minute adventure" he says with the confidence of someone who's never had to decipher a single line of uncommented code from 2013! Cut to reality: 10 HOURS LATER and they're both emotionally destroyed. The dev is screaming in existential horror while the PM has finally realized why the last three developers quit. That ancient codebase isn't just bad - it's an eldritch horror wrapped in duct tape and prayers that somehow still runs production!
