Any DevOps Job Ever

The hardest choices require the strongest wills... and the most questionable git practices. Nothing quite captures the silent horror of development like nuking an entire branch to fix a merge conflict. Sure, you could have spent hours carefully resolving each conflict line by line, but why bother when you can just snap your fingers and make half your codebase disappear? The staging branch was a small price to pay for salvation. Your team might be planning your funeral right now, but hey—the build is passing!

That baby's face is the exact expression of someone who just found out they're destined for a life of debugging YAML indentation errors and explaining to management why "just adding one more pod" isn't going to fix everything. Poor kid hasn't even mastered object permanence yet, but Dad's already planning his future of midnight alerts because some microservice decided to spontaneously combust. The baby knows what's coming—that's the face of someone who already understands that "it works on my machine" will be the most frustrating phrase in his vocabulary. Welcome to existence, kid. Your inheritance is a cluster of problems.

Ah, the mythical code review in startup land! While established companies have rigorous PR processes with multiple approvers and nitpicky comments about your variable naming conventions, startups operate in the "move fast and break production" paradigm. Your code gets merged straight to main with zero eyeballs on it because there's no time for pesky quality checks when you're disrupting industries and burning through Series A funding. The best code reviewer you'll get is the exception that crashes the app at 2 AM, forcing you to debug your own spaghetti code while chugging energy drinks. Remember: in startup world, it's not a bug—it's an undocumented feature waiting for the next hotfix!

The entire tech world got a rude awakening when Broadcom decided to change Docker's licensing model after August 28th. Suddenly, all those carefully crafted container images and deployment charts became the digital equivalent of a ticking time bomb. It's like showing up to work and finding out your entire infrastructure is now sitting on a subscription paywall. Five years of DevOps culture built on "containers everywhere!" and then corporate suits decided your free lunch was over. The digital tower of Babel we've all been building? Yeah, that's now resting on Broadcom's quarterly earnings expectations.

The shirt parodies the "Breaking Bad" TV show logo but replaces it with "Breaking Prod" - complete with element symbols Br (Bromine, atomic number 35) and Pr (Praseodymium, atomic number 59). For devs who deploy on Friday, this is basically your hazmat suit. Nothing says "I'm about to introduce catastrophic bugs into the production environment right before the weekend" quite like wearing your criminal intent as fashion. The perfect attire for that 4:55 PM git push that'll have the on-call engineer questioning their career choices at 2 AM.

Hitting that "deploy to cloud" button feels like a heroic moment until you realize you've just signed up your credit card for an all-you-can-eat buffet where the servers never sleep. Your ancestors watch proudly as you configure auto-scaling without setting budget alerts. That $5/month estimate turns into $500 when your app gets three users and suddenly needs 17 microservices, a managed database, and enough storage to archive the Library of Congress. Future generations will be paying off your Kubernetes cluster long after you're gone.
