A LinkedIn-style experience section lists a programmer’s work at Google and Yandex, followed by a system administrator position at a summer math school. The punchline is the absurdly formal description of maintaining a large network in a forest using a dozen home routers. It is used as a reaction to exaggerated résumés, chaotic IT infrastructure, or unexpectedly difficult work experience.
