Ah, the classic bait-and-switch of tech job descriptions! Squidward's initial excitement at a promising job opportunity immediately deflates when he spots the deal-breaker: "ability to obtain a US government security clearance." For those in the tech world, this is the equivalent of finding out your dream date has a strict "must not have posted anything questionable online ever" policy. Between questionable forum posts, that one time you downloaded something sketchy, or that phase where you thought anarchist manifestos were cool reading material—most developers' internet history is basically a government background check's worst nightmare. The security clearance requirement is basically corporate-speak for "we need someone with the online purity of a newborn baby but the coding skills of a 40-year veteran."

Look at this beautiful encapsulation—a private joke that can only be accessed through a setter method. And just like real programmer humor, if you need it explained, "you wouldn't get it."

The Joker knows what's up—some jokes just don't compile in everyone's mental runtime.

That rare, godlike feeling when you actually take the time to read documentation instead of copy-pasting from Stack Overflow. Suddenly you're not just fixing bugs—you're wielding cosmic power . Your colleagues look at you in awe as you confidently implement features without a single "why the hell is this not working" moment. Of course, this superhero phase lasts approximately 17 minutes before you're back to frantically googling error messages.
