Based On A True Story

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of these job listings! 💀 What started as a joke is now the HORRIFYING REALITY of tech recruiting. They're not looking for a "full stack developer" - they're demanding a supernatural being who can single-handedly replace an ENTIRE IT DEPARTMENT while probably offering "competitive salary" (translation: barely above minimum wage). Next they'll require you to build a time machine so you can work 48 hours in a 24-hour day! And don't forget the "5+ years experience" in technologies that have existed for 2 years! The modern tech job market is basically just corporate execs screaming "DANCE, MONKEY, DANCE!" while throwing peanuts at desperate developers.

Ah, the sweet release of framework fatigue! That moment when you've been drowning in an endless sea of JavaScript frameworks—React today, Vue tomorrow, Svelte next week—and finally say "nope, I'm done." The spiritual rebirth of crawling back to jQuery feels like emerging from a baptismal pool of complexity. No more dependency hell, no more webpack config nightmares, just good ol' $('.selector').doStuff() and suddenly you're sleeping like a baby again. Framework FOMO? Cured! Who needs 17MB of node_modules when you can have a single 30KB file that just works? It's like trading in your experimental rocket ship for a reliable bicycle—sure it's not as flashy, but you'll actually reach your destination without exploding!

512GB of RAM?! The absolute AUDACITY of Apple to think I wouldn't immediately fill that with 2,457 Chrome tabs of Stack Overflow solutions I'll "read later." That Mac Studio isn't a computer—it's an enabler for my browser tab hoarding addiction! Web developers see all that memory and literally start salivating like it's beachfront property they just inherited. "Finally, I can run my React app, Slack, AND keep my 'JavaScript Promises Explained' tab open without my computer bursting into flames!" 🔥

Ah, the nightmare fuel for CSS warriors everywhere! That circular screen is basically saying "I dare you to make your flexbox work on me." Frontend devs already lose sleep over supporting different browsers, but this monstrosity takes "edge cases" to a whole new level. Imagine trying to design responsive layouts when your viewport is literally a circle. Border-radius: 50%? More like border-radius: PAIN%. The dev who commented is having PTSD flashbacks to that time Internet Explorer randomly decided divs were just suggestions.

The circle of life in tech! Designers freaking out when devs use AI to make pretty UIs, while developers glare suspiciously when designers start generating code. It's the digital equivalent of "stay in your lane, bro." After 15 years in the industry, I've seen territorial battles over who gets to use which tools, but this AI turf war is next level. Soon we'll all just be prompt engineers yelling at each other about who wrote the better instruction set.

The eternal struggle of tech evolution: that moment when a new framework/language drops and suddenly everyone's talking about it like it's been around forever. Meanwhile, you're sitting there wondering if "vibe coding" is some revolutionary paradigm that will make your code emit positive energy, or just another JavaScript library that'll be obsolete by Tuesday. The fear is real. Ask about it and expose yourself as a tech dinosaur? Or nod knowingly while frantically Googling under the table? We've all been there—silently adding it to the mountain of tech debt in our brains while hoping no one asks us to implement it in the next sprint.
