"I went on a job interview for a Senior SWE role. They asked me about my experience with Kafka. I told them how in Metamorphosis someone can lose their worth in others eyes the moment they stop being useful. Its a chilling reminder of how fragile our sense of belonging can be when it relies on productivity instead of humanity. I told them how in The Trial he describes the helplessness of confronting institutions that feel arbitrary unaccountable and impossible to navigate. The randomness of a giant system can crush your soul. Our brains cant handle overwhelming inconsistency. I told them how"

"I went on a job interview for a Senior SWE role. They asked me about my experience with Kafka. I told them how in Metamorphosis someone can lose their worth in others eyes the moment they stop being useful. Its a chilling reminder of how fragile our sense of belonging can be when it relies on productivity instead of humanity. I told them how in The Trial he describes the helplessness of confronting institutions that feel arbitrary unaccountable and impossible to navigate. The randomness of a giant system can crush your soul. Our brains cant handle overwhelming inconsistency. I told them how"
