The app development team at 'My Agent and Me' is reportedly worried their newest developer can't read or write. In his 2 months on the job, Brendan Lock has only communicated using memes, GIFs, and emojis in the team's Slack channel. Not a single meme has had text.

"I don't want to assume the worst, but it's weird he hasn't typed any words since he started." Commented Jenny Jamm, the SRE embedded with the dev team. "All of his PR review notes are meme comments. Is this a Zillennial thing?"

"Kinda surprised his prompts even work. It's all images, and yet Claude Code still runs how you'd expect it to. It's not like anyone reads the output code, so I guess it's fine. Brendan is performing really well on the team, we love having him around. I just don't know how to ask him if he can read without it turning into a scene from a sitcom show. One of the later seasons when all the characters are the worst version of themselves.", says manager Scott S. Scotty (Editor's Note: He declined to share his middle name, but confirmed it is not some variation of Scott. Though we did not believe him).
