We've been exposed

The bar is so low it's practically a tripping hazard in hell. Front-end dev says don't put a language on your resume after a 15-minute tutorial, and someone replies "at least wait until you've written hello world." That's like saying "don't call yourself a chef until you've successfully boiled water." The gatekeeping is real, folks, but so is the imposter syndrome that makes us think we're React developers after watching half a YouTube video.

The user, blissfully unaware, thinks they're interacting with a beautiful frontend while the backend developer lurks behind the scenes making everything actually work. The frontend gets all the praise for being pretty, while the backend carries the entire application on its shoulders. Tale as old as time: users only care about what they can see, not the complex machinery keeping the whole operation from imploding. That backend developer's face says it all - "You're welcome for making this thing functional while the frontend gets all the credit."

Ah, the dream job has finally arrived. Not only do you get to work for free as a "Prompt Engineer," but you also pay $500 weekly for the privilege of... doing unpaid work. It's basically an expensive subscription to pretend you have a job. Next up: paying for air to breathe in the office. The recruiter probably thinks they're being generous by not charging for bathroom breaks.

When your product manager asks for "innovative OAuth options" and you take it as a personal challenge. Sure, Google and GitHub are fine, but have you considered logging in with a potato ? Or better yet, your credit card details because security is just a social construct, right? Nothing screams "enterprise-ready SaaS" quite like "Login with Beef Caldereta" or "Login with your mom." The dev who built this either has the best sense of humor or completely gave up on life halfway through the sprint. "Login with Settings" is particularly inspired—why authenticate users when you can just... authenticate the concept of configuration itself? My personal favorite is "Login with Form 137"—a Filipino school document. Because nothing says seamless user experience like requiring academic records from elementary school. The fingerprint option looks downright boring in comparison.
