"We're currently seeking a fresh young energetic programmer to crush this new project and launch their career!"

"Hi, I'm an artist with my code and can unfuck your worst with one hand"

"Oh, you're an artistic, goal-oriented, problem solver. Here's a roller, start painting. We'll tell you once we start paying... we were told artists work best when they're starving."
