Git After Rust

Top panel: Blissful ignorance. You commit your code thinking you've solved everything. Middle panel: Reality check begins. QA finds those edge cases you conveniently forgot existed. Bottom panel: Full existential dread. DevOps messages you at 2AM about the production server that's now somehow mining cryptocurrency in Paraguay. The three stages of deployment grief. No developer has ever experienced the mythical fourth panel: "Everything worked perfectly."

Junior developers pushing code straight to production is the tech equivalent of giving car keys to someone who just got their learner's permit. The terrifying confidence of asking "How much review do I need?" only to immediately decide "None? I merge now. Good luck, everybody else!" perfectly captures that moment when inexperience meets fatal optimism. Senior devs watching this unfold are already updating their resumes while the production server starts smoking. That merge button might as well be labeled "Career Russian Roulette."

Look at this groundbreaking README update that took hours of deep intellectual labor—replacing text with the exact same text plus emojis. The commit message proudly declares "5 additions and 5 removals" like it's some kind of heroic refactoring. This is peak modern development: spending actual human hours making cosmetic changes to documentation that add zero functional value, then expecting a parade for your "contribution." Next PR: converting all periods to sparkle emojis. Revolutionary stuff.

OH. MY. GOD. The ABSOLUTE PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE of code reviews! 💀 You pour your ENTIRE SOUL into a PR, and what do you get? Either a million "Overwhelmingly Positive" comments that make you question if they even READ your code, or that ONE devastating "Not Recommended" with ZERO explanation that haunts you for ETERNITY! And the SILENCE? That's the worst! Like, just TELL ME what's wrong with my beautiful 3 AM creation instead of leaving me to SPIRAL into self-doubt! Is it my variable naming? My architecture? MY ENTIRE CAREER CHOICE?! The duality of feedback is sending me to an early grave, I swear. 🪦

The AUDACITY of some developers! 💅 First, they quietly fork some poor abandoned GitHub repo that's been collecting digital dust for years. Then these ABSOLUTE MASTERMINDS update a few libraries, slap on their precious little feature, and have the sheer NERVE to declare their fork as the "new official source" on the original repo. But wait, it gets better! When actual humans dare to ask questions or submit PRs? *GHOSTED* faster than your ex after saying "we need to talk." The clown makeup progression is just *chef's kiss* - from mild deception to full-on open-source circus performer! It's the GitHub equivalent of claiming squatter's rights on someone's code and then ignoring the neighbors!

Anthropic drops a billion on Bum (probably some AI startup or acqui-hire), meanwhile someone just casually hits that fork button on GitHub and gets the exact same codebase for the low, low price of absolutely nothing. Open source licensing is basically the ultimate "right-click, save as" for entire companies. The best part? They're both technically legal moves. One guy's burning VC money like it's going out of style, the other's just... using git as intended. That's the beauty and chaos of open source—your billion-dollar acquisition is literally one git clone away from being commoditized.
