Do What I Say, Not What Is Safe

The four stages of developer enlightenment, perfectly captured in Mr. Incredible's gradual descent into madness. Starts with the blissful ignorance of coding—where you're just vibing, making things work somehow. Then debugging hits and you're slightly unhinged but still optimistic. By version control, you've seen things... dark things... like merge conflicts that make you question reality. And finally, DevOps—where your soul has left your body and you've become one with the void, deploying microservices at 3 AM while muttering "it works on my machine" into the abyss. The progression isn't just about difficulty—it's about the spiritual journey from "I write code" to "I am become Death, destroyer of production environments."

When GitHub's 1 billionth repository is literally named "shit," you know humanity has peaked. Someone created a repo with the most profound name possible, and GitHub's automated system sent a congratulatory message hoping they "build some great 💩." The universe has a sense of humor after all – a billion repositories of human innovation, and the milestone belongs to a repo that perfectly summarizes most of our code anyway.

That fleeting moment of glory when your code doesn't immediately set the servers on fire. You're strutting around like a superhero while your Slack blows up with messages. Just wait until they find that one edge case you didn't test for. Enjoy the dopamine while it lasts, friend.

The sweet innocent smile of contributing to open source vs. the ABSOLUTE HORROR when you realize intelligence agencies might be lurking in your pull requests! 😱 Your cute little "fixed a typo" commit? CONGRATS, you just helped the CIA, FSB, and Mossad improve their surveillance code! Free and Open Source Software becomes Free and Open Spying Software when the alphabet soup agencies decide your project looks like a PERFECT place to slip in some "extra features." Nothing says "community-driven development" like wondering if that random contributor from nowhere is actually a spy with a government paycheck! TRUST ISSUES ACTIVATED!

The year is 2070. Flying cars exist. We've colonized Mars. Quantum computing powers everything. But the Linux kernel? Still not "vibe code." Some poor maintainer is getting a pull request rejected because Linus doesn't think their commit messages spark joy. 50 years from now and we'll still be using git, still dealing with legacy code from the 90s, and still arguing about tabs vs spaces. The more technology advances, the more kernel development stays exactly the same.

The UNHOLY TRINITY of a developer's existence! GitHub looking all dark and mysterious like it's judging your commit messages. StackOverflow with that knowing smirk because it's seen your desperate 3AM questions. And then there's YOUR CODE - that absolute DEMON CHILD that started as a "quick fix" and evolved into an eldritch horror that would make Lovecraft weep! The tattoo is *chef's kiss* perfect because your code is LITERALLY permanently etched into your nightmares. It's the monster YOU created and now must live with FOREVER!
