What's My Worth

job-search-memes, github-memes, linkedin-memes, developer-life-memes, job-market-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The eternal cycle of developer delusion. You spend years collecting programming languages like Pokémon cards, thinking each one adds to your market value. You build 30 projects on GitHub (half of them are "Hello World" in different frameworks, let's be honest). You're feeling confident, ready to cash in on all that hustle.

Then you hit LinkedIn and reality slaps you harder than a null pointer exception. Entry-level positions want 5 years of experience in a framework that's been out for 3 years, plus they're choosing between you and 9,999 other developers who also know 6 languages and have 30 GitHub repos.

The job market doesn't care about your polyglot status when there's an army of developers with identical résumés. It's like showing up to a sword fight and realizing everyone else also brought a sword. Welcome to tech in 2024, where being qualified is just the baseline for getting ghosted by recruiters.

Malware Blocked: When Your Mac Thinks Docker Is The Enemy

When macOS thinks Docker is malware, it's like your paranoid grandma refusing to let your friend in because they're "dressed suspiciously." The irony of a containerization tool—literally designed to safely isolate applications—being flagged as malicious is peak Silicon Valley drama. Meanwhile, developers everywhere frantically Google "how to convince my Mac that Docker isn't trying to steal its identity" while questioning their career choices.

The System32 Conspiracy

Ah, the classic tale of the tech-illiterate conspiracy theorist who thinks they've uncovered the grand Microsoft deception. System32 is literally just the core Windows directory containing critical system files—delete it and congratulations, you've bricked your computer! The December 31, 1969 date is actually Unix epoch time (January 1, 1970 UTC) minus a timezone offset—basically the computer equivalent of "the beginning of time." It's what systems show when a file has no valid timestamp. But sure, go ahead and "save yourself 700kb" by deleting essential system files. I'm sure your computer will run so much faster in its new state as an expensive paperweight.
