Why it worked
The post uses a strong visual contrast and a relatable, albeit stereotypical, comparison between past and present software engineers to generate engagement. The use of a trending audio or a humorous take on a profession likely contributed to its virality.
Summary
The first slide shows a group of men in professional attire posing with old computer equipment, labeled 'software engineers then'. The second slide contrasts this with a group of young women in a nightclub setting, holding drinks, labeled 'vs software engineers now'.
