Be Like Terry

The eternal paradox of "high quality" code that nobody else can decipher. When your documentation is non-existent, your variable names are single letters, and your functions are 500 lines long—but hey, at least you understand the labyrinth you've created. The ultimate job security strategy: write code so convoluted that firing you would be corporate suicide. Maintainability? That's just a fancy word for "letting other people mess with my masterpiece."

The absolute chad move of rewriting half the codebase and calling it "minor changes" before disappearing into the void. Nothing says "I'm the main character" like dropping a 4000-line bomb on your colleagues and then strutting away while they try to figure out what the hell just happened. The git commit history will remember your name long after you've gone home to enjoy your weekend.

Romance blooming in the most unexpected repo. Guy meets future wife debugging code together, then someone warns him not to let others "branch her out." Because nothing says true love like finding someone who can actually push changes without breaking the build. The real relationship milestone isn't the first kiss—it's the first successful merge without conflicts.

This developer just casually created an "app skeleton" with 3,163 files changed and +637,124 lines of code in a SINGLE commit. That's not a skeleton—that's an entire digital cemetery! When most of us create a "skeleton app," we mean a few files and basic structure. This person apparently thinks "skeleton" means "fully formed creature with organs, skin, and probably its own consciousness." The PR is even marked "Ready to merge" with no reviews requested. Bold strategy—let's see if anyone survives the code review!

The Git workflow massacre in three acts: First, we see a majestic Airbus A350 on the runway - that's git commit , your changes safely packaged and ready. Next, the plane gloriously takes flight - git push sending your code to the remote repository. But wait! The punchline: git add is just people climbing stairs to nowhere. Because if you push without adding files first, you're essentially sending an empty plane. Nothing gets deployed except your career prospects. It's the classic "why isn't my code in production?" moment right before the horrifying realization that you've been committing and pushing literal nothingness for the past hour.

The difference between how versioning should work and how it actually works in some codebases. According to semantic versioning, you increment the major version (like 1.0 to 2.0) when you make changes that break backward compatibility. But then there's that one developer who breaks something with literally every commit and somehow still has a job. Their changelog probably just reads "Fixed stuff, broke other stuff" for every release. It's basically the software development equivalent of playing Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun.
