Stack Overflow Picks Enemies

Description

The image is a mobile Safari screenshot on stackoverflow.com, showing the status bar with "vodafone AU", "4:23 pm", and an 18% battery. A filter page contains controls labeled "Filters", "Reset", "Cancel", and a blue "Search" button, then a "TECH" section. Under "Tech You Like" the placeholder says "Add up to 10 (e.g. html, c#)", while under "Tech You Dislike" the placeholder says "Add up to 10 (e.g. c, php)", with a circular magnifier emphasizing "c, php". The joke is that a job-search filter casually encodes long-running developer language prejudices, treating C and PHP as canonical dislikes.
