Wanting a Rust Job, Getting C and C++ Instead

Description

A Rick and Morty still of Morty Smith sitting uncomfortably in bed, wide-eyed and frowning, while two women kiss his cheeks: a red-haired woman on the left labeled "C++ jobs" and a blonde woman on the right labeled "C jobs." The top caption in large black text on white reads "I just want to have a Rust job." Purple curtains and red pillows fill the bedroom background; a "made with mematic" watermark is in the lower left. The joke is the systems-programming job-market mismatch: developers chase Rust for memory safety and modern tooling, but most real listings still demand C or C++ for kernels, embedded, games, and HFT.
