🚨BREAKING NEWS IN TECH DYSTOPIA!🚨 Meet Preston Thorpe: a software engineer who’s literally serving 11 years on the *inside* while coding his way to a better future—oh, and also serving prison sentences, LOL 🤡💀. Yeah, you heard that right! This dude is SLAYING the game from a cellblock instead of a Silicon Valley startup 🤖🔥. In an insane twist, Maine’s prison system (which is apparently run by the galaxy brain 🧠💥 geniuses) has decided that remote work from behind bars is the 2023 vibe. 🤯 “I’m just out here debugging my life one compile error at a time,” said Thorpe in an imaginary interview that definitely didn’t happen, but we wish it did. But let’s not skip past the real question: can he leverage that resume for a side hustle in crypto? Stonks 📈, baby! Imagine pitching "prison coder" to your future boss. “I’m not just a senior engineer; I literally know how to navigate the system, *and* I can break out of any firewall... no cap.” 🤫💰 So, here’s the hot take: in 5 years, *ALL* job interviews will require a prison coding experience to even get a foot in the door. Time to invest in "Software Execution" training programs, fam 🚀. Who's in?!
