The Real Programmer

The classic programmer hustle - convincing parents that you need a $2000 MacBook Pro to "learn coding" when a $300 Chromebook would do just fine. But hey, those compilation times are critical for your "Hello World" programs, right? The endless cycle of requesting hardware upgrades is practically a rite of passage for young devs. Parents eventually catch on that you're mostly using that 32GB RAM to have 97 Chrome tabs open while occasionally tweaking CSS. But they love you anyway, bless their financially drained hearts.

Remember when FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) was the dream destination for every code monkey with a computer science degree? Well, move over grandpa, because now it's all about GAYMAN - Google, Amazon, Y(ahoo?), Meta, Apple, Nvidia. The tech landscape shifts faster than my git branch strategy. These six horsemen of the apocalypse now control whether your resume gets tossed in the bin or your salary hits six figures. Funny how we measure our worth by which corporate logo sits on our LinkedIn profile. Peak capitalism wrapped in RGB lighting.
