The FAANG Salary Delusion

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.

The Great GPU Dilemma Of 2025

THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF GPU WARS IN 2025! Nvidia's out here making us choose between selling a kidney for performance or switching tracks for affordability, while AMD's just like "Hey, remember us? We exist too!" But AMD's train is literally DERAILED off the tracks! The perfect metaphor for how Nvidia has completely dominated the AI hardware market while AMD struggles to even stay relevant. It's giving "I'm in this picture and I don't like it" energy for anyone who's been desperately waiting for AMD to save us from Nvidia's pricing tyranny. Spoiler alert: THE RESCUE AIN'T COMING!
