Girlfriend Not Planned

18 minutes ago 2.2K views 0 shares

Someone opened a GitHub issue titled "Love #822" with the message "I need a gf" only to have it promptly closed as "not planned" by a contributor who replied "Sorry to hear that." Romance: the one feature request that even the most comprehensive project roadmap doesn't include. Trust me, I've been maintaining codebases longer than some of you have been alive, and relationships are the one dependency that never resolves cleanly.

Trust Issues In The Digital Age

THE AUDACITY! Microsoft's OneDrive suggesting it'll protect you from ransomware is like a fox offering to guard your henhouse! 🦊🐔 Microsoft, sweetie, you can't be the solution when your products are half the problem! Windows is basically a welcome mat for malware at this point. And now you want me to store my precious recovery files with YOU?! The "Dismiss" button might as well say "I'm not THAT desperate yet." Honey, I'd rather write my files on stone tablets than trust the company whose security updates are basically just apologies.

The Digital Pink Slip: GitHub Edition

That moment when your access to the company's GitHub repo gets revoked before HR even tells you you're fired. Nothing says "your services are no longer required" quite like git pushing you out of the organization! The digital equivalent of finding your desk contents in a cardboard box. Bonus anxiety: frantically checking if you committed that side project code before losing access forever.

Memory Management Jailbreak

The ultimate developer freedom! Switching from C++ to Python is like escaping memory management prison. No more wrestling with pointers, incrementing variables manually, or dealing with those dreaded segmentation faults at 2AM. The garbage collector just... handles it all. Your RAM thanks you, your sleep schedule thanks you, and your mental health definitely thanks you. Meanwhile, your C++ code is waving goodbye like Woody and Buzz, wondering why you abandoned the thrill of manual memory allocation for the cushy comfort of Python's automatic management. Sure, you might miss the performance gains, but you'll never miss debugging a memory leak for 6 hours straight.

The Hidden Face Of Digital Infrastructure

Ah yes, the harsh truth about our digital world - built and maintained by a very specific demographic. The comic suggests that behind all our fancy cloud infrastructure and enterprise systems are just stereotypical Linux enthusiasts with questionable fashion choices and anime avatars. The ">ᴗ

What Not To Do

Ah, the sacred art of "it works, don't touch it." That smug face perfectly captures the chaotic neutral energy of someone who just fixed a critical bug with a random semicolon and has absolutely no intention of explaining why. Future you will absolutely love trying to debug that mysterious fix six months later when everything breaks again. Nothing says "professional software engineering" quite like leaving cryptic time bombs in your codebase and slinking away with a thumbs up. This is basically the digital equivalent of fixing your car by kicking it in just the right spot and then refusing to tell the mechanic what you did.

Just Spec Up Bruh

Borderlands devs absolutely demolishing gamers with month-old rigs is peak tech hierarchy. The gaming industry's entire business model relies on making your $2000 setup obsolete faster than milk expires. You'll be running that shiny new game at 12 FPS while the recommended specs casually suggest "just a quantum computer with direct neural interface." Meanwhile, game optimization remains an ancient forgotten art, like proper documentation or reasonable deadlines.

The OAuth Identity Crisis

OAuth has really gone off the rails lately. Started with "Login with Google" and now we've got "Login with a Potato" and "Login with your mom." Next sprint we'll probably implement "Login with your existential dread" and "Login with that weird dream you had in 2013." Security experts are frantically writing papers on the cryptographic properties of beef caldereta while developers just keep adding more buttons because the product manager said so.

The Stupid Way To Validate Email

That's a regex for email validation so cryptic even Gandalf can't decipher it. The dark arts of regular expressions - where developers spend 6 hours crafting an unreadable pattern that will inevitably fail on some edge case anyway. Just use a library, for crying out loud. Your future self will thank you when they're not debugging why [email protected] is somehow "invalid".

The Ultimate Deadlock Interview Paradox

The classic chicken-and-egg problem of tech interviews. Can't explain deadlock without getting hired, can't get hired without explaining deadlock. Just like two threads waiting for each other's resources, this candidate and interviewer are stuck in their own human deadlock. The irony is so thick you could debug it.

OMG, the sheer AUDACITY of CSS to literally push a bridge off the river! 😱 That negative margin just YEETED the bridge right off the water! This is what happens when frontend developers try to build actual infrastructure - you get a bridge that's not even TRYING to do its one job! Whoever wrote margin-left: -100px; clearly never had to cross this river during a rainy season. The horror! The drama! The utterly unusable transportation!

Why Say Many Words When Few Do Trick

When your IDE documentation is just ASCII art instead of actual descriptions. The developer who made this struct literally drew a 3D cube in code comments instead of writing proper documentation. Then labeled the vertices A-H and called it a day. Pure chaotic genius! Bonus points for the struct being named "CubeInt" which somehow makes it both obvious and completely unhelpful at the same time. Who needs formal documentation when you can just sketch it out in ASCII?
