Do You Even Remember How To Code

Ah yes, the four things that make grown developers cry. Toothpaste that can't go back in the tube, torn paper that can't be un-torn, scrambled eggs that can't be un-scrambled, and the dreaded git reset --hard HEAD~1 that just erased your entire afternoon's work because you forgot to commit. That last one hits different at 4:59 PM on a Friday. Nothing says "I'm in danger" quite like accidentally nuking your uncommitted changes. Pro tip: stash before you trash.

You know you're in trouble when your coworker thinks "GetHub" is a perfectly logical name because it's related to Git. Meanwhile, the rest of the team is just vibing, pretending everything's fine while the codebase burns in the background. The real horror here isn't the confusion between Git and GitHub—it's that someone with this level of understanding is probably pushing directly to main right now. No pull requests, no code reviews, just pure chaos. And everyone's just... accepting it. That's the real crime. Fun fact: GitHub was actually almost named "Logical Awesome" before the founders settled on the current name. Imagine explaining to your coworker why it's not called "GetLogicalAwesome" instead.

SWEET MERCIFUL CODE GODS! The most powerful entity in software development isn't your tech lead—it's that desperate little feline begging for your approval! While you're drowning in 47 Jira tickets, this adorable catastrophe is just waiting for someone, ANYONE, to merge their changes into the sacred main branch. The sheer DRAMA of waiting for code review approval has literally transformed this developer into a pleading kitten. And honestly? Same. Nothing says "I've lost all dignity" quite like peeking over a chair asking for your pull request to be approved after you've spent three days refactoring that nightmare function everyone was too scared to touch! 🙀

In this parallel universe, everything's just slightly... off. VScode has gone green, React's lost its atom, Rust is having an identity crisis with those dollar signs, PHP actually looks cool, GitHub's fox is on fire, Ubuntu's gone minimal, JavaScript is... well, still JavaScript (some constants across all universes), and that blue creature is what happens when you let Go's mascot hang out with npm for too long. It's like someone described our tech stack to an AI from 2010 and said "just wing it." The multiverse of tech madness where your pull requests would probably create black holes.

GitHub's password deprecation strategy is like a villain in a noir film. "Please enter your password... ah yes, thank you. By the way, passwords are dead to me now. Generate a token instead." The classic bait-and-switch executed with all the subtlety of a ransomware notification. Nothing says "we care about security" quite like making you use an outdated authentication method before telling you it's outdated.

The eternal struggle between noble ideology and crushing self-awareness! While some developers proudly wave the "I'm protecting my intellectual property" flag to justify keeping their code locked away, others are out here living in the REAL world where their spaghetti code looks like it was written by a caffeinated raccoon at 3 AM. Let's be honest—open sourcing your project sounds amazing until you remember that your variable names are things like "thing1," "stuff," and "finalFinalREALLYfinal_v3." The thought of seasoned developers stumbling upon your nested if-statements that go 47 levels deep? Absolutely mortifying. It's not capitalism keeping that repo private, bestie—it's pure, unadulterated shame. The beautiful irony is that everyone's been there, but nobody wants to admit their code would make a senior dev weep into their mechanical keyboard. So we hide behind excuses while our embarrassing commits remain safely tucked away from the judgmental eyes of GitHub. 💀
