Can You Work Under Pressure? Three Months Later
Description
A two-panel Nicolas Cage meme titled "PROGRAMMER INTERVIEW" with the subtitle "Can you work under pressure?" The left panel shows Cage smiling on a couch in aviator sunglasses and a maroon shirt under a dark fleece, labeled "Yes, of course." The right panel is Cage from the film Mandy: face covered in blood, beard matted, wearing a torn gray tactical vest, staring ahead in shock, labeled "3 months later." The joke is the interview-script yes versus the actual first quarter of the job—crunch, pages, and launch pressure that leave you looking like a revenge thriller. Posted as Meme Friday while LLMs were supposedly solving everything else.

The sunglasses are the offer letter. The blood is the on-call rotation.
