Open Source Developer CIA Reveal

Experience Open source developer Self-employed Jul 2023 - Present · 10 mos On-site CIA Principal Software Developer Full-time Apr 2001 - Jul 2022 · 21 yrs 4 mos

A LinkedIn-style experience section shows someone currently working as a self-employed open source developer, then reveals that their previous job was Principal Software Developer at the CIA for over 21 years. The joke is the absurd implication that an apparently independent open-source developer may have been a CIA developer, making it a reaction meme about backdoors, espionage, and suspicious open-source contributions. The clip is set to “Millionaire Mind” by Dev Mode, whose confident, aspirational music makes the career reveal feel dramatically impressive and conspiratorial.
