The Theory Of Useless Things To Do

Einstein's lesser-known theory of project management relativity! This meme brilliantly captures what every developer silently thinks during those two-hour meetings that could've been an email. Project managers somehow exist in a quantum state where they simultaneously create Gantt charts nobody reads while asking "can we just add this small feature?" three days before launch. The space-time continuum itself warps around their ability to schedule three overlapping meetings and still find time to ask why you're behind schedule.

As Long As It Works

Behold, the sacred trinity of IT troubleshooting! That massive blue slice? That's the "turn it off and turn it back on again" method—the nuclear option that somehow fixes 60% of all problems known to humanity. The red chunk represents frantically Googling error messages while pretending you totally knew what was wrong all along. And that adorable little green sliver? That's the phenomenon where bugs mysteriously vanish the SECOND a senior dev walks over to your desk. Suddenly your code works perfectly and you're left looking like you summoned them for absolutely nothing. The best part? This pie chart is disturbingly accurate and we're all just out here winging it with the confidence of someone who definitely knows what they're doing (narrator: they don't).

The Future Of Tech Interviews

Remember when getting hired meant a 30-minute chat with a manager who actually worked in your department? Now we've got seven rounds of algorithmic hazing, take-home projects that would qualify as unpaid consulting, and personality assessments to make sure you're "culture fit" (read: willing to work weekends). The monkey experiment reference is too real—we're all just perpetuating increasingly absurd hiring rituals because "that's how Google does it" or whatever. Meanwhile, the actual skills needed for the job are barely discussed. Ten years from now we'll probably be solving Rubik's cubes blindfolded while reciting binary trees upside down... all for an entry-level position.
