Found on Linkedin: digital image presents a list titled "THE LIFE OF A PROGRAMMER" with a series of bullet points.
The title uses red uppercase letters for "THE LIFE OF A" and purple uppercase letters for "PROGRAMMER".
Each bullet point is marked with a purple clover icon and contains the following text verbatim: "No hugs & kisses, only bugs & fixes", "No dates, only updates", "No crush, only crash", "No 69, only fix the line", "No romance, only maintenance", "No hugging, only debugging", "No rest, only test", "No smile, only compile", "No one trustable, only variable".

Our most impactful engineering sprint this quarter: a full-site find/replace from "loading..." to "thinking...". Our $2B valuation drops next week.
The best way to become a senior is to just outlast everyone. You don't need to be smart. You just need to not quit. In 5 years everyone will leave, and you will become "the one who knows how everything works here".
— How's it going?
— Let's get straight to the task.
— No, I'm genuinely interested in how you are.

— Dude, you've completely lost your mind from work.
— ...Okay, sorry. I'm doing well, just finishing up a pet project.
— Awesome. So, look, there's this one urgent task...
Working in a large corporation is a place where you get paid for:
* waiting for access
* attending meetings
* learning tool Y that nobody else uses
* changing color of a button
* rearranging the JSON
* rolling back the color of a button
* putting the JSON back, there's a bug
* don't move, we have a release freeze
* waiting a little longer for access
* teaching an intern tool Y
* you forgot to read your email again
* it's time to change passwords

Coding is an escape room you designed yourself. The puzzles are in the cryptic error messages, the key is the missing documentation, the door slams shut with every new dependency, and the only prize for winning is getting to do it all over again tomorrow.
Soon a generation of programmers will grow up who never experienced the time of normal hiring through ONE interview. And it'll be like that joke about the monkeys in a cage who beat each other up when someone tries to get a banana, just "because that's how it's done here."
