Australia Thinks GitHub Is As Risky For Kids As TikTok

Ah, the classic programming trivia game that's trolling newbies! The answer is obviously "Hello, world" (highlighted in green), but the joke's in the other options. "Git gud" is both a gaming taunt AND a version control pun. "Download Linux" is what every Stack Overflow answer suggests when you have a Windows problem. And "Error 404" is what your career becomes after forgetting a semicolon. The title "Git Gud" is extra spicy because it's telling beginners they need to master Git (arguably more terrifying than any algorithm).

Oh. My. God. That existential crisis when you type git commit -m "" and suddenly you're Rodin's Thinker, contemplating the meaning of your entire codebase! 🤯 What do you even CALL that unholy mess of 47 unrelated changes you just made?! "Fixed stuff"? "Made it work"? The cursor just blinks there, JUDGING YOU, while your brain short-circuits trying to summarize four hours of chaotic coding into a cute little message. It's like trying to explain quantum physics using only emojis. THE PRESSURE IS UNBEARABLE!

The ultimate power move in software development: merging code directly to production on your last day. Nothing says "peace out" like bypassing all those pesky tests and code reviews when the consequences are officially Someone Else's Problem™. It's the digital equivalent of setting a dumpster fire and walking away in slow motion while putting on sunglasses. The best part? That serene smile knowing you'll be unreachable when the Slack notifications start exploding tomorrow.

The dark satisfaction of Windows developers inserting carriage return line feed (CRLF) into every merged file is perfectly captured here. While Unix-based systems use just LF (\n) for line endings, Windows insists on CRLF (\r\n) and will fight to the death for those extra bytes. Nothing like breaking git diffs and causing merge conflicts across operating systems because Windows decided in 1981 that mimicking typewriters was the future of computing. The smug expression says it all - "Yes, I've ruined your clean line endings, and I'd do it again."

Ah, the classic "change your Git config and push a bug to production" move. It's like framing your coworker for murder, but in code form. This junior dev just performed the digital equivalent of identity theft by changing their Git config to match their senior's name and email, then pushed broken code straight to prod. Now when the blame command runs, it points to the innocent senior dev who's about to have a very confusing conversation with management. Pure corporate sabotage disguised as a rookie mistake. Diabolical.

OH. MY. GOD. The ABSOLUTE PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE of code reviews! 💀 You pour your ENTIRE SOUL into a PR, and what do you get? Either a million "Overwhelmingly Positive" comments that make you question if they even READ your code, or that ONE devastating "Not Recommended" with ZERO explanation that haunts you for ETERNITY! And the SILENCE? That's the worst! Like, just TELL ME what's wrong with my beautiful 3 AM creation instead of leaving me to SPIRAL into self-doubt! Is it my variable naming? My architecture? MY ENTIRE CAREER CHOICE?! The duality of feedback is sending me to an early grave, I swear. 🪦
