THE ABSOLUTE BETRAYAL of your own brain when you return from vacation! There you are, staring at the login screen for the tool you've supposedly used EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. of your professional existence, and suddenly—POOF!—your password has vanished from your memory like it was thrown into the fires of Mount Doom! Your fingers hover over the keyboard in a pathetic dance of desperation while your colleagues watch your soul leave your body. The walk of shame to IT for a password reset is the modern developer's walk of atonement. And don't even get me started on when you finally get in and can't remember how a single function works! The AUDACITY of our brains to take PTO when we do!

The four stages of debugging your own code: First, the pride: "I fixed a bug today!" You're practically ready to update your LinkedIn with "Senior Bug Exterminator." Then, the crushing realization: "my own" - the bug you heroically vanquished was one YOU created. Congratulations, you played yourself. Followed by the existential crisis: "am I a genius?" The duality of being smart enough to fix something yet dumb enough to break it in the first place. And finally, the programmer's paradox: "I really can't say, but yes" - simultaneously the villain and hero of your own codebase. The circle of dev life is complete.

The ultimate developer escape hatch has arrived! Some genius created a GitHub repo called "git-blame-someone-else" with 11k stars and counting. It's basically the digital equivalent of writing "not my fault" in your commit messages, but automated. The repo description says it all: "Blame someone else for your bad code." Finally, a way to attribute those questionable 3 AM coding decisions to your coworkers! The MIT license is just chef's kiss—legally allowing you to distribute your blame. Who needs accountability when you have this repo? Your tech debt just became somebody else's problem!
