Devops

The AUDACITY of GitHub! First they're like "Enter your password, peasant" and then IMMEDIATELY after you type it in, they hit you with "Actually, passwords are SO last season, darling. Create an access token instead." 💅 It's like inviting someone to a formal dinner party, waiting until they show up in a tuxedo, and then announcing "Sorry, we're actually doing swimwear only now!" The DRAMA! The BETRAYAL! The unnecessary authentication hoops we jump through just to push our mediocre code!

Ah, "vibe coded" – the spiritual successor to "works on my machine." When your code review consists of vibing with it instead of actual testing. Security professionals are salivating at the job security these startups are creating. Nothing says "future CVE entry" quite like an app built on good feelings and zero documentation. The cybersecurity industry thanks you for your service.

Ah, the infinite recursion of corporate time tracking. You're spending so much time documenting your hours in Jira that you need to document the time spent documenting time... and then document that time too. It's the bureaucratic equivalent of a stack overflow, except your sanity crashes first. Eight years into my career and I've started estimating "Jira maintenance" as its own task. 2 hours per sprint just to update tickets that tell management what I'm doing instead of, you know, actually doing it. The real joke? Somewhere there's a product manager using this data to optimize workflows. Irony, thy name is enterprise software.

Nothing says "I'm from a different era of computing" like sending a PDF of a printout instead of a Git repo link. That senior dev probably still has a drawer full of floppy disks "just in case." Next they'll tell you to compile it by feeding the paper into your CD drive and typing "make oldschool." The digital equivalent of getting directions via fax machine when you asked for GPS coordinates.

The duality of Linux enthusiasts is painfully accurate. When actually using Linux, you're just a tired soul dealing with dependency hell and hunting down obscure config files. But mention Linux in conversation and suddenly you're vibrating at a frequency only dogs can hear, ready to explain why your custom Arch build with 47 terminal-based apps is "actually more user-friendly." It's the same energy as people who do CrossFit – quiet suffering during, evangelical preaching after.

In the realm of developer clout, 500 GitHub followers makes you practically royalty, while 2 million YouTube subscribers is just... meh. Nothing says "I've made it" like having a handful of fellow nerds who appreciate your elegant solutions to problems nobody else understands. YouTube fame is for the masses—GitHub fame is for the classes. The true knights of the coding round table don't need dance videos and clickbait thumbnails to prove their worth—just clean commits and well-documented PRs.
