We're Partly Humans Too

The tech industry's hiring process is basically a sadistic obstacle course designed by people who hate joy. Regular folks step on a rake and get rejected immediately. Meanwhile, developers have to parkour through HR screenings, awkward team interviews, and technical interrogations where they're asked to invert binary trees on a whiteboard—only to get rejected anyway. Six weeks of your life gone just so some startup can tell you they're "going in a different direction." The greatest skill in software engineering isn't coding—it's maintaining your will to live through the interview process.
