When People Ask Me How My IT Job Is Going

google-memes, stackoverflow-memes, imposter-syndrome-memes, tech-life-memes, debugging-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The eternal truth of tech work laid bare. That wide-eyed panic isn't from caffeine—it's the silent terror of knowing you're one Stack Overflow outage away from complete incompetence. Ten years into my career and I'm still copying code snippets and praying they work. The real senior developer skill? Knowing which things to Google. The junior asks "how to center a div," but the senior asks "why is my Kubernetes cluster on fire at 3am and which config file do I sacrifice to the daemon to make it stop?"

Senior Engineer: Expectations vs. Reality

Remember that glorious day you got promoted to Senior Engineer? Your brain filled with visions of complex architecture designs, mentoring juniors, and making critical technical decisions. Then reality hit like a null pointer exception. Turns out "Senior" is just corporate code for "Professional Meeting Attendee." Your calendar transformed from blocks of focused coding time to an endless parade of standups, planning sessions, retrospectives, and those special meetings that could've been emails. The only code you write now is the occasional email response typed between back-to-back Zoom calls while desperately clinging to your coffee mug like it's the last working node in your cluster.
