The Impossible Job Requirements Paradox

job-requirements-memes, entry-level-memes, experience-paradox-memes, tech-hiring-memes, impossible-standards-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Every dev job listing in existence: "Entry-level position. Requirements: Must have been coding since the womb." The tech industry's impossible math strikes again! The classic paradox where companies want you to be simultaneously young enough to work for peanuts but experienced enough to have built half the internet. Next they'll ask for your GitHub contributions from preschool. I've seen seniors with less experience requirements than some "junior" positions these days.

Ergonomic Evolution Of A Senior Developer

The ergonomics experts can shove their fancy diagrams where the sun doesn't shine. After 15 years of hunching over code, I've evolved to my final form: laptop on chest, controller in hand, neck at an impossible angle that would make a chiropractor cry. Sure, my spine resembles a question mark now, but at least I can debug that production issue while horizontal. The real senior developer posture isn't standing desks—it's whatever position lets you code without getting out of bed. Work-life balance achieved.
