When 'Pass The Interview' = 'Cancel My Flight'

imposter-syndrome-memes, aviation-memes, software-quality-memes, job-interviews-memes, safety-critical-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The existential crisis of every imposter syndrome-riddled developer! This dev knows their code is held together by StackOverflow answers and prayer, so if an aviation company thinks they're qualified enough to hire, that's a terrifying red flag about who's building flight systems. The ultimate paradox: succeeding at the interview would confirm their worst fear—that the bar is low enough that even they could pass. And suddenly every turbulence bump becomes "oh god, did I write that part?"

We Read Between The Lines

When a Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft posts about a "research project" involving Rust and language migration tooling, the entire tech community immediately assumes Windows is getting rewritten in Rust with AI. Because obviously that's the only logical conclusion, right? The poor guy had to issue a clarification that basically reads like a panicked "GUYS NO STOP" after the internet collectively decided his innocent recruitment post was secretly announcing the death of C++ at Microsoft. He's literally just trying to hire some engineers for a multi-year research project, but developers have become so good at reading corporate tea leaves that they've evolved into full-blown conspiracy theorists. The funniest part? He had to explicitly state that Rust is NOT an endpoint. Like, imagine having to clarify that your experimental tooling project isn't going to replace the entire Windows kernel. That's the level of speculation we're dealing with here. The developer community saw "Microsoft + Rust + AI" and immediately started planning their C++ funeral arrangements. Pro tip: When your LinkedIn post needs an "Update" section longer than the original post to walk back assumptions you never made, you've successfully triggered the tech hivemind.

I Finally Found Out What Those Buttons Mean!

Finally decoded Reddit's voting system! Upvote for "you're on Team NVIDIA" and downvote for "how dare you prefer AMD." The GPU holy wars continue to rage while I'm still coding on integrated graphics that struggle to render VS Code. The real winner? My electricity bill.
