Deploying To Production Before Holiday Break: What Could Go Wrong

When your Git push gets rejected by some obscure rule you didn't know existed. The terminal's giving you ASCII art of a dragon guarding your repo like it's a medieval treasure vault! That "Herald push rule H149" might as well be written in ancient runes. Nothing says "your code isn't worthy" quite like being denied by a mythical creature made of forward slashes and zeroes. Somewhere, a senior dev is cackling while sipping coffee from their "Git Gud" mug.

The first comment: "When I do git blame, it's not about finding the person who did the mistake. I want to find out when the code was added, which task it was related to, and if I need more details, the person who wrote the code." The reply: "I use git blame just to make sure it wasn't me before I go on a tirade..." Ah yes, the two types of developers. The professional who uses tools for their intended purpose, and the rest of us who just want plausible deniability before ranting in Slack. Nothing quite like that moment of relief when you discover someone else wrote that abomination, followed by the crushing realization it was actually you from three years ago.

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute TRAGEDY of software development methodologies laid bare! 😂 Waterfall is just straight-up DELUSIONAL - "Let's plan everything perfectly and then MAGICALLY end up on Mars!" Sure, Jan. 🙄 Agile is that friend who SWEARS they're going to Paris but ends up in their backyard. "We wanted Mars but settled for the Moon because REALITY HAPPENED, sweetie!" Kanban? More like Can't-Ban the endless sticky notes! A YEAR later and you're still begging for armrests while drowning in tiny tasks. The AUDACITY! Scrum is just organizational WHIPLASH. Disappear for a month, fail spectacularly, then have the NERVE to call a 15-minute meeting to start over? I'm DECEASED. ⚰️ And Lean Development? Honey, that's just poverty with WINGS ON A FIRECRACKER. The delusion of convincing investors that your dollar-store rocket might reach Mars "someday" is just *chef's kiss* PEAK STARTUP CULTURE.

Oh. My. GOD. The eternal nightmare of Agile development in one soul-crushing image! 😭 Some poor, innocent developer asking when they can FINALLY stop these never-ending two-week sprints, only to be told the most horrifying truth in software development: YOU NEVER ESCAPE! The sprint backlog is basically Hotel California - you can check out any time you like, but you can NEVER LEAVE! Just an endless cycle of standups, story points, and sprint retrospectives until you either retire or your keyboard crumbles to dust from your tears. Welcome to development hell, sweetie! 💅

That network switch has clearly been running flawlessly since the Clinton administration. Covered in dust, cobwebs, and what appears to be ancient plaster, it's the digital equivalent of that one load-bearing piece of code written by someone who left the company 8 years ago. Touch it? Might as well pull the pin on a grenade while you're at it. This is why network engineers develop that thousand-yard stare by year five.

When your junior dev creates a pull request without running tests, fixing linting errors, or even reviewing their own code. Just smashes that green button and expects everyone else to clean up the mess. And the worst part? We've all been that dev at some point. Nothing says "not my problem anymore" like a hastily created PR with the commit message "fix stuff".
