A Second Outage Has Hit GitHub

The irony of Bjarne Stroustrup—you know, just the guy who created C++ —having only one green square on his GitHub contribution graph is chef's kiss material. Recruiters everywhere are frantically updating their "red flags" documentation. Meanwhile, the person who invented the language that powers half the world's critical infrastructure would probably get auto-rejected by the ATS systems he helped make possible. Next interview question: "So, Mr. Stroustrup, what would you say you actually do here?"

That face when someone suggests replacing Git with Excel. The silent scream of a thousand merge conflicts yet to come. Next they'll propose using PowerPoint for CI/CD pipelines because "it has nice transitions." Some people just want to watch the world burn—one corrupted spreadsheet at a time.

The security admin proudly sets up branch protection requiring admin approval for all code changes. Meanwhile, the intern is confused about needing a +1 approval while the senior dev is like "lgtm, ship it" despite the code clearly containing an API key hardcoded in plain text with debugging logs printing credentials. Security theater at its finest - the branch is protected but the data sure isn't.

The generational warfare of tech tools is real! We missed medieval knights (too late) and futuristic space marines (too early), but we were perfectly timed for the epic battles of Jira tickets, Slack notifications, and VS Code debugging sessions. Modern developers don't wield swords—we wield Postman requests and fight dragons in our Notion documentation. Our armor is caffeine and Stack Overflow answers, and our battlefield is that 4-hour sprint planning meeting where everyone argues about story points. The irony? We're still playing a game with XP, guilds (teams), and bosses (product managers). Just with more emails and fewer actual swords.

OH. MY. GOD. Someone actually submitted ASCII art of a cute anime character to THE LINUX KERNEL?! 💀 The absolute AUDACITY to claim this "adds more consumerism to improve the experience" while trying to sneak a Labubu into the sacred syscall code! As if Linus Torvalds would ever merge this! The kernel - the LITERAL BEATING HEART of Linux - is now supposed to have kawaii anime art?! I can't even! Somewhere, a UNIX beard is spontaneously combusting right now. Next thing you know, we'll be replacing error messages with uwu speak and kernel panics with sad emojis!

Oh sweet merciful code gods! 💀 This chat is the EPITOME of workplace betrayal! Your colleague just threw you under the bus so hard you've got tire marks on your soul! That commit message... I'm DYING. "Added three components, deleted that extra feature was not needed, deleted it, still need to finish that bug from a month ago." ZERO INFORMATION. It's like writing "I did stuff" on your timesheet! And that final "YOLO" is the digital equivalent of setting the repository on fire and walking away in slow motion without looking back. The absolute AUDACITY! This is why we can't have nice things in software development! 🔥
