A Second Outage Has Hit GitHub

The silent killer of every developer's sanity: accidentally pushing your .env file to GitHub. That little tab showing the .env file about to be closed is giving me heart palpitations! One wrong commit and suddenly your API keys, database credentials, and that secret message to your future self are available for the whole internet to see. Nothing says "I'm having a great day" like realizing your AWS keys are public and there's already a $10,000 bill for crypto mining in Siberia.

The evolution of trust in software development: Regular Pooh: Not sharing code at all. Suspicious. Probably hiding something terrible. Fancy Pooh: Publishing source code. Ah, a developer of culture and transparency. Demonic Pooh: Creating a GitHub repo with just an executable. The digital equivalent of saying "here's a mysterious candy, stranger, just put it in your mouth."

The duality of modern coding life. First panel: "OMG, GitHub Copilot is free in VS Code?!" *frantically puts on glasses to see clearly* Second panel: "Wait... my code is free for GitHub Copilot?" *realization sets in* Remember when we used to worry about other devs stealing our code? Now we're feeding the AI overlords our precious algorithms so they can regurgitate them to junior devs who'll get paid more than us. The circle of tech life, folks.

Ah, the eternal GitHub pronunciation debate has finally been settled by presidential decree! The pixel art podium has spoken: "It's pronounced 'JitHub'." Just imagine all those developers who've been saying "GitHub" with a hard G for years, suddenly questioning their entire existence. Next thing you know, they'll tell us SQL is actually pronounced "squirrel" and Python is "pie-thon." The best part? This is clearly a matter of national security, hence the flags. Nothing says "this pronunciation is non-negotiable" like a pixelated presidential address. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them with my pull requests.

The superhuman ability to spot a missing semicolon in someone else's 5000-line codebase vs. the complete blindness to your own glaringly obvious infinite loop that's been crashing production for three days. The cognitive dissonance is real! Your brain literally transforms into Patrick Star when reviewing your own masterpiece of spaghetti code. It's like having microscopic vision for others' syntax errors but developing sudden selective code blindness the moment you open your own pull request.

The most satisfying commit message you'll ever write: "Deleted 2,000 lines of legacy code." Somehow removing code feels more productive than writing it. The real 10x developers aren't the ones cranking out features—they're the ones brave enough to hit delete on that monstrosity everyone's been afraid to touch since 2017. Negative lines of code should be on your performance review.
