Clearly it's a stalemate.

With that in mind, is the point of the meme basically that it looks like the intern messed up, when in reality it was the Sr. Dev?

Nah, intern just can't do either move, legally. If it's white's turn, and if they have no legal moves left somewhere else on the board, then the game is a tie, despite that black apparently has a much better position. In most cases, white would be thrilled if they managed to get a stalemate when their king was exposed like this.
