Don't Touch My Garbage!

When GitHub asks for your password but you haven't used it since they forced everyone to switch to personal access tokens. The mysterious GitHub entity with its ominous backdrop demands credentials while the poor developer, blissfully unaware, types "coder" like it's 1999. Then reality hits - support for password authentication was nuked back in August 2021. That moment when muscle memory meets obsolete security protocols. Your fingers remember what your brain forgot.

Oh look, it's the sacred scroll of knowledge I decided to ignore for the past 4 hours! Nothing quite captures that special feeling of defeat when you finally surrender to reading documentation after waging a heroic but utterly pointless battle against a codebase. The blank stare of realization that all your suffering could have been avoided with a simple 5-minute read. Congratulations, brave warrior - you've just unlocked the ancient developer achievement: "Reading The Manual As Absolute Last Resort."

Listen up, sweetie! The universe LITERALLY doesn't care if you mess up your algebra homework or burn your dinner, but make ONE tiny mistake in Git and suddenly you're living in a horror movie! 💀 That innocent little git push --force just turned your entire team's repository into a post-apocalyptic wasteland where no one remembers what code even is anymore. Your career? OVER. Your reputation? DESTROYED. Your will to live? QUESTIONABLE AT BEST. There's nothing more terrifying than staring into the abyss of merge conflicts that YOU created because you thought you were smarter than version control. Sleep tight!

The GitHub contribution graph—where darker green means you're a coding machine and lighter green means you occasionally remember your password. The interviewer is confused because this guy's squares are dark green (meaning tons of commits) but somehow he has "less contributions." Plot twist: he's just really good at squashing 47 panicked debug commits into one elegant pull request. His smug "I got it right the first time" response is the programming equivalent of claiming you've never googled "how to center a div" or "what does NaN mean again?"

Imagine being so financially challenged that your entire tech stack runs on the generosity of strangers who decided to code libraries in their free time. And what's your contribution to these digital saints? A measly GitHub star. Not a donation. Not even a coffee. Just a virtual gold sticker that costs absolutely nothing. Open-source maintainers out here debugging at 3 AM, dealing with entitled issue reports like "it doesn't work pls fix," and getting compensated with... *checks notes* ...internet points. Meanwhile you're building a million-dollar startup on their free labor. The audacity! The shamelessness! The... reality of modern software development! But hey, at least you clicked that star button. That's basically the same as paying rent, right? 🌟

Grammar corrections feel like getting shot in the face with a laser gun. Code corrections? That's just free QA. Developers would rather have their entire codebase criticized than deal with someone pointing out they used "your" instead of "you're" in the documentation. Priorities, I guess.
