Vibe Coding In Prod

Finally, a Git tutorial that makes sense! The landing plane is git commit - safely touching down with your changes. The takeoff is git push - launching your code into the remote repo with a prayer it doesn't crash. And git add ? That's just people desperately climbing onto a sketchy ladder in the middle of nowhere - exactly how it feels tracking files before you've figured out what half of them even do. Ryanair's budget operations perfectly capture the bare-minimum approach most of us take with version control. "Yeah, I'll just commit directly to main. What could possibly go wrong?"

The mythical "Full Stack Developer" strikes again! The top row shows animals lamenting their limitations—a dog can't fly, a fish can't walk, a chick can't swim, and a duck... well, it's just there looking smug. But the bottom row? Pure developer delusion. Suddenly they're all transformed into confident versions with skills they never had! It's basically every job posting ever: "Looking for a Full Stack Developer who can code in 17 languages, design like Picasso, manage infrastructure like NASA, and work for the salary of an intern." Meanwhile, the rest of us are specializing in one thing and questioning our life choices.

Nothing like the sweet talons of fate dragging you from your comfortable legacy codebase to a shiny new project with "technical challenges." Sure, double the salary sounds nice until you realize you'll be spending your first three months googling stack traces and questioning your career choices. The only thing more painful than maintaining 15-year-old spaghetti code is the crushing realization that you actually miss it when you're neck-deep in microservices architecture diagrams.

Nothing screams "tech superiority" quite like typing cryptic commands in a black terminal while your non-technical friend watches in bewildered horror. The raw power that courses through your veins when you sudo apt-get update in front of someone who thinks you're hacking the Pentagon is simply unmatched. Sure, money buys yachts and status gets you into fancy restaurants, but making eye contact with someone while you casually pipe grep output to awk? That's the kind of high no offshore account can provide.

Microsoft's official account telling dad jokes while Azure is burning in the background is peak corporate comedy. The replies absolutely commit to reality: "git back to fixing azure" because apparently the cloud is down... again. Nothing says "we're a serious tech company" like posting knock-knock jokes during an outage. The contrast between the cheerful dad joke and the "please fix our production environment" replies is chef's kiss perfection. It's like watching someone arrange deck chairs on the Titanic, but with version control puns.

The dark ritual is complete! When production crashes at 4:59 PM on Friday, the PM and Tech Lead resort to ancient debugging practices—summoning the mythical CTO who hasn't touched code in 7 years but somehow remembers that one obscure config setting nobody documented. It's that desperate moment when Stack Overflow fails you, Git blame points to a developer who left 3 years ago, and your entire technical hierarchy transforms into a cult desperately trying to appease the elder gods of legacy code.
