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.

Zero Place

Ah, the classic programmer joke about array indexing! The medal shows "1 Place" but someone cuts out the "1" to make it "0 Place" - because in most programming languages, arrays start at index 0, not 1. The programmer's smug face in the final panel says it all. He's not celebrating second place, he's celebrating the technically correct place. This is peak programmer pedantry that only true code jockeys would appreciate. The kind of person who'd correct you mid-conversation about proper variable naming conventions.

The Automation Paradox

The eternal developer dilemma: spend several hours automating a task that would take 5 minutes to do manually. Sure, the automation will save time... eventually... after the 84th run... in theory. But who's counting? Certainly not the developer crawling through the desert of inefficiency while ignoring the obvious oasis of just doing the damn thing.

Can You Fix My Printer?

The AUDACITY of people when they discover you work in tech! 💻 One second you're having a nice conversation, the next they're asking you to resurrect their ancient printer from the digital graveyard. Like, honey, I write code that makes websites pretty - I don't perform NECROMANCY on your possessed HP LaserJet from 2003! The way that doctor YEETED that clipboard is exactly how I feel when someone says "but you're good with computers" after I explain I can't fix their hardware. The emotional DAMAGE is real!
