Don't Release On Friday

The existential dread of Git merge conflicts perfectly captured! The top panel shows the classic "two buttons" dilemma with "Current Change" (HEAD) and "Incoming Change" (develop branch), while the terminal shows the dreaded merge conflict markers. The bottom panel reveals the true horror—a sweaty developer in full panic mode facing the impossible choice of which code to keep. Nothing turns a confident developer into a nervous wreck faster than those <<<<<<< HEAD markers appearing in your previously pristine codebase. The real skill isn't writing code—it's surviving merge conflicts without having a complete mental breakdown!

HR: "Do you work in Agile?" Developers everywhere: *silent screaming* The truth hits harder than a failed production deployment at 4:59 PM on Friday. Whether you choose Waterfall (one big sequential pile of 💩) or Agile (the same pile, just broken into multiple sprints of 💩), you're still dealing with... well, you know. The only real difference? In Agile, you get to experience the disappointment in two-week increments instead of all at once. It's like choosing between getting punched once really hard or getting slapped repeatedly for eternity. Such innovation. Much methodology.

The passive-aggressive Bugs Bunny perfectly encapsulates the C++ developer's nightmare. You spend hours configuring build systems only to hit the dreaded "documentation not found" error when you actually need help. It's like CMake is saying "I could tell you how to fix this, but where's the fun in that?" The best part of using CMake is telling everyone how much you hate using CMake.

DARLING, SWEETIE, HONEY! The SRE just found the ultimate money-burning hack! 🔥💸 Spend $100M in a month? CHILD'S PLAY when you unleash the apocalyptic billing nightmare that is AWS! One forgotten test instance and BOOM - your cloud bill looks like the GDP of a small nation! The genie's face when realizing AWS exists is the EXACT same expression your finance team makes when they see your "small prototype" somehow cost more than your annual salary. The fourth rule was INEVITABLE, darling!

Just another Tuesday in production. Nothing says "minor config change" like suiting up in a bomb disposal outfit first. The level of caution is directly proportional to how many services depend on that nginx.conf file. One misplaced semicolon and suddenly you're explaining to management why the entire company website redirects to a 404 page.

Ah, the advanced archaeological technique of bash history spelunking. Why waste 30 seconds reading documentation when you can spend 20 minutes scrolling through 4 months of commands trying to find that one magical incantation you used once? It's not laziness, it's efficiency... just with extra steps and questionable results. The true mark of a seasoned developer isn't knowing all the commands - it's knowing approximately when you last used the one you need.
