Average Open Source Enjoyer

The senior developer's villain origin story, captured in 4K. Facebook's infamous motto "Move Fast and Break Things" might sound inspirational on a Silicon Valley conference stage, but try saying that to someone who just spent 72 hours fixing production after your "innovative" commit bypassed code review. That look of pure contempt is what happens when you've lived through enough deployments to know that "moving fast" is just code for "technical debt we'll deal with never." The pistol whipping is merely a formality at this point.

You know that moment when someone asks what you changed and you stare into the void trying to compress 47 file modifications, 3 refactors, 2 bug fixes, and that one random typo correction into a coherent sentence? Yeah, the -m flag becomes your worst enemy. The struggle is real when you've been in the zone for 2 hours, touched half the codebase, and now Git is asking you to summarize your life choices in one line. So you either write "fixed stuff" like a caveman or spend 10 minutes crafting a commit message longer than the actual code changes. Pro tip: This is why you commit early and often. But we all know you won't.

GASP! The AUDACITY of developers thinking they can hide behind AI! 💅 When you run git blame to find out which MONSTER broke the code, it reveals the actual HUMAN criminal - not GitHub Copilot! Your AI assistant isn't taking the fall for your disaster of a commit, sweetie! That's right, your name is PERMANENTLY etched in the git history hall of shame! There's no escaping accountability in this dystopian developer hellscape!

The nuclear option for any developer with commit access. Nothing says "I choose violence today" quite like force-pushing to master without code review. In most companies, this is the digital equivalent of pulling the fire alarm while simultaneously deleting the production database. Five million dollars? Please. The sheer chaos you'd create would be priceless—and your termination paperwork would probably be processed before the build pipeline even finishes failing. Bonus points if you do it on a Friday at 4:59 PM right before a holiday weekend.

Dad bursts in with his cowboy hat energy while junior's GitHub contributions page looks like a graveyard of red X's. Nothing says "I'm coding" like having absolutely nothing to show for it. The classic parent-developer relationship – they think we're building the next Facebook, but really we're just staring at Stack Overflow and hoping our failed PR doesn't get mentioned at the next standup. The commit history doesn't lie, kid.

Ah, the moment you find that promising GitHub project with 5k stars, only to discover you need to compile it from source. Suddenly your enthusiasm evaporates faster than RAM in a Chrome tab. The classic developer dilemma: is this cool tool worth the 45 minutes of dependency hell, or should you just keep using your janky workaround that "mostly works"? Nine times out of ten, that project stays uncompiled, forever living in the graveyard of "cool things I'll try someday."
