You get one wish, but the genie always tries to curse it. What do you wish for? (lemmy.ml)

Hmm, this gives me a funny idea about a genie that is freed from his lamp, grants the three wishes, then has to figure out what to do now.

So he decides to become a programmer at some FinTech company.

Call it "Cubicle Genie."

    Programmer? Nah, programmers have to deliver.

    If they have a thousand years of experience promising any wish granted, but no ability to follow through on that promise? They'd be wasted as a programmer. They should be made executive leadership. CTO at least. Maybe CEO.

    Although maybe they'd make more by handling investor relations on contract -- e.g. paid a % by seed or Series A investors to handle fundraising in later rounds. Private equity is pretty screwed up these days :(
