Delivery To Prod

Twelve years and counting, and Linux installations remain the tech equivalent of playing Russian roulette with your sanity. Nothing quite matches the spiritual journey of watching a terminal spew 47 cryptic error messages because you dared to install a PDF reader. The dream of a seamless Linux installation continues to be just that—a dream. Meanwhile, dependency hell has become our permanent address and "it works on my machine" remains the most devastating lie in computing.

The year is 2025. Microsoft has fully absorbed GitHub, and the dystopian nightmare begins. GitHub users cower in fear as Microsoft whispers "Come closer..." only to drop the bombshell: "I NEED YOU TO ADD IPV6 SUPPORT TO GITHUB." It's the ultimate plot twist! After all the fears of Microsoft injecting telemetry, ads, or subscription tiers into GitHub, they're just desperately trying to drag their acquisition into modern networking standards. Still running on legacy IPv4 in 2025? That's the real horror story! The internet ran out of IPv4 addresses years ago, but GitHub's still clinging to them like SpongeBob to his spatula.

Ah, the classic "Scooby-Doo villain reveal" but with a software architecture twist. The company proudly announces their fancy microservice architecture, but when the developer pulls off the mask, surprise! It's just a distributed monolith underneath. For the uninitiated: a distributed monolith is when you split your application into separate services that look like microservices, but they're so tightly coupled they can't be deployed independently. So you get all the complexity of microservices with none of the benefits. It's like buying a sports car but filling the trunk with concrete.

DENIED ENTRY TO HEAVEN FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY: taking more than 5 minutes in daily stand-ups! 💀 St. Peter is LITERALLY keeping receipts at the pearly gates! That 15-minute "quick sync" where you droned on about your JIRA tickets for half an hour? STRAIGHT TO THE UNDERWORLD, SUSAN! Even eternal salvation has its limits, and apparently they're drawn at "just one more thing before we wrap up..."

The apocalypse has begun. Both Stack Overflow and Claude AI are down for maintenance simultaneously. That peaceful smile in the top panel? That's the face of a developer who just realized they've got the perfect excuse to call in sick. "Sorry boss, can't debug that critical production issue—my entire support system is offline." The panic in the bottom panel hits when you realize you actually have a deadline today and your entire career now depends on those dusty O'Reilly books you bought "just in case" and never opened. Bonus horror: that R6009 error is "not enough space for environment" which is dev-speak for "your computer is literally too full of npm packages to function anymore."

Ah, the classic cloud architect's lament. AWS promised us the holy grail of scalability, yet somehow became our new single point of failure. Nothing says "I've made a terrible mistake" quite like watching your entire infrastructure collapse because us-east-1 decided to take a coffee break. The irony burns hotter than Mustafar's lava. We migrated to the cloud to avoid downtime, only to discover we've just outsourced our problems to Jeff Bezos. Multi-region deployment? That was apparently on the roadmap right after "figure out how to decipher our own AWS bill."
