The Modern Tech Interview Gauntlet

Nothing says "we value your time" quite like turning a job application into a full-time unpaid internship. The modern tech interview process has evolved from "Can you code?" to "Can you solve this obscure algorithm while tap-dancing and reciting the company values backwards?" The tears reflected in those glasses aren't from sadness—they're from realizing you just spent 40 hours on interview prep only to get ghosted with the classic "unfortu-" cut-off. Next time just ask if I can center a div and call it a day.

Must...Resist...Urge...

The eternal struggle between professionalism and having a personality in your code. Sure, management wants "clean, maintainable code" but they don't understand the spiritual damage caused by naming your StringBuilder anything other than "bobTheBuilder". Ten years into this career and I'm still sweating over variable names while staring at pull request comments saying "please use more descriptive naming conventions." Yeah, because finalProcessedDataObjectManagerFactory is so much better than thingDoer .

The AI Revolution: Sleep Through It At Your Peril

The startup landscape has undergone a seismic shift! Back in the day, founders needed actual coding skills or capital to build their "million dollar app idea." Fast forward to 2023, and it's raining AI tools while programmers sleep through it all. Figma + ChatGPT + Midjourney are literally taking grenades to the traditional development process. The beautiful chaos of prompt engineering and no-code tools means anyone with a pulse can cobble together a functional prototype without writing a single semicolon. Clean architecture? Proper testing? Who needs that when you can just keep regenerating until something works!

Old Man Yells At Cloud Services

The cloud revolution has turned every sysadmin into Grandpa Simpson. Remember when we had to physically touch our servers? When DNS issues meant actual phone calls? Now we're just shouting at AWS outages, GCP pricing surprises, and Azure's console that redesigns itself every 3 months. We've gone from racking servers to arguing with JSON files and wondering why our bill suddenly doubled because we forgot to terminate that one instance running in us-east-1. The future is here—it's just abstracted, expensive, and makes us yell at the sky.
