None of your objections so far have come close to resembling good faith rebuttals. Or even good ones.
We have eyes, we’ve read the tweet, we (I would hope) know what invoking rm -rf / does. Presumably the context alone there and reading the room here should be enough to clue one in why one would find it specifically cringeworthy (even if I would probably use a tamer way to describe it-personally), and why perhaps one would in the exact same vein just find things funny for different reasons, or just find different things funny altogether. How is it hypocritical to acknowledge the humor in a joke while pointing out that the same joke carries an uncomfortable truth to it? Sometimes those are the best jokes (best of course being subjective)
Of course, I got the joke straight away and merely chuckled. Not necessarily my brand of humor, but hey, you buy the premise, you’ve bought the bit.
The other common problem is a non-Manager - a “manager” who doesn’t talk to you and doesn’t know much about what you’re working on. They just want to check a dashboard, see all green lights, report to their managers that the light is green, and collect their pay check.
I know this person. They were a manager. They were my last manager. Thank the compiler I got moved to a different team when the org realized said manager had no idea what they were doing, shuffled some seats around and removed this manager from the company.

I’ll take the paycheck.
What you said: “It’s almost done”
What the PM heard: “It’s done”
What the business tells its clients: “It’s deployed and already servicing customers”
I think where you messed up is trying to date other CS majors. True love comes from dating the Comparative Lit majors. And when that doesn’t work, accounting.
Coincidentally also works for career changes.
I’ve grown to love code even more later in life, even other people’s code.
You know what I hate?
Coding ceremonies (formerly known as “meetings”) that produce poorly defined/badly written acceptance criteria for code.
