DevOps Hate When You Use This One Trick

Batman dropping system administration wisdom that would make Gotham's IT department proud. In Unix-like systems, when a parent process dies but its child processes remain running, those orphaned processes get adopted by the init process (PID 1) - essentially becoming "Batman processes" without parents. It's the vigilante justice of process management. Criminals beware, orphaned processes are watching.

The sacred commandment of software development! GitHub Projects is basically preaching the gospel with this one. Pushing code to production on Friday is like playing Russian roulette with your weekend. That stick figure is all of us—arms raised in desperate warning because they've lived through the horror of fixing critical bugs at 11 PM on a Friday while their friends are out having fun. The universal developer trauma captured in one perfect tweet. Whoever deploys on Friday clearly wants chaos as a lifestyle choice.

Oh nooo! The ghost keeps saying "Boo" but the stick figure isn't scared... until they reveal their true horror - using zip files for version control! 😱 You know you've reached peak coding chaos when your version control system is just a folder of proj_1.zip , proj_2.zip , and the dreaded proj_last.zip ! The ghost couldn't scare them, but their file management made every developer scream in terror! Git commit or get haunted by your own file system!

When your Rust compiler decides to turn your CPU into a space heater... that's peak memory safety! The irony is delicious - Rust promises memory safety but your system becomes completely unusable in the process. All cores maxed at 97°C while compiling, and the poor dev had to grab their phone to even take this screenshot because the machine was too busy contemplating the ownership model of every single variable. The final punchline? "It's safe when you can't use your computer" - technically correct, the best kind of correct!

Turns out those daily stand-ups and sprint retrospectives weren't the silver bullet after all! This headline is the equivalent of telling developers that their religion is false. Watch as Agile evangelists frantically explain how "that's not real Agile" and "you're just doing it wrong" while ignoring the 268% higher failure rate staring them in the face. The irony is delicious - a methodology that promised to save us from waterfall disasters is apparently worse than the thing it was supposed to replace. Meanwhile, project managers everywhere are desperately updating their LinkedIn profiles to remove "Certified Scrum Master" before anyone notices.

The classic "change my mind" format gets an AI twist. Guy's sitting there with his coffee, confidently declaring AI won't steal jobs—but with that crucial asterisk that people who actually know how to integrate it will be the ones doing the stealing. Meanwhile, there's literally an "Eden AI" paper on his table and a robot lurking in the background. The irony is thicker than legacy code comments. It's the perfect representation of the current tech landscape: those panicking about AI replacing developers versus those quietly building automation tools that make three developers do the work of thirty.
