Git Checkout These Nudes

Ah, the Linux purist paradox. Proudly declares "MS is bullshit" while mentioning they use Arch (because of course they do), but then gets absolutely triggered when asked about using GitHub (owned by Microsoft), VS Code (Microsoft's editor), or NPM (runs on Microsoft infrastructure). Nothing says "I have principles" quite like selectively applying them only when it doesn't inconvenience your workflow. The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.

The eternal struggle of game developers everywhere: trying to spot the difference between CRLF and LF line endings while Perforce gleefully ignores them as "identical" during merges. Nothing like spending 3 hours debugging why your build is failing only to discover it's because Windows and Unix decided to have a philosophical debate about how lines should end. And yet somehow, this prehistoric version control system that can't tell the difference between line endings is still the industry standard. Legacy code and "but we've always done it this way" strikes again!

OH. MY. GOD. Someone left their Git commands in the production UI! 😱 The absolute HORROR of seeing <<<<<<< HEAD and >>>>>>> master splashed across a payment page like some kind of digital crime scene! That poor utility bill of $176.12 is now trapped in merge conflict purgatory until 2025! Whoever pushed this code straight to production without resolving their conflicts is about to experience the most dramatic performance review in corporate history. Their career is flatlining harder than that payment system!

The graveyard of abandoned side projects rises from the depths to drown you while you excitedly reach for that shiny new GitHub repo. It's the developer's version of object permanence—if you can't see those half-implemented features and uncommented functions, they don't exist! Until your hard drive runs out of space from 37 different folders named "final_project_ACTUALLY_FINAL_v2". The cognitive dissonance is real: your brain convincing you that this time you'll definitely finish that microservice architecture while the ghosts of your past React components, unfinished Python scripts, and that one Rust project you started after watching a single YouTube tutorial all lurk beneath the surface.

The evolution of version control systems, as told by expanding brain memes: Git? Basic brain. Functional, gets the job done. The industry standard that everyone grudgingly accepts. SVN, Mercurial, TFS? Glowing brain. The legacy systems maintained by that one dev who still uses tabs instead of spaces and refuses to retire. Commenting changes in code? Galaxy brain. Because who needs actual version control when you can just leave cryptic notes like "// fixed stuff" and "// TODO: make better"? But the true enlightenment? Making a complete project clone every time you change something. That's not version control—that's just digital hoarding with extra steps. The "project_final_FINAL_v2_ACTUALLY_FINAL" approach to software development.

The ultimate validation hierarchy for the modern developer! Millions of followers on social media? Yawn . But that ONE GitHub follower? Pure ecstasy. Nothing says "I've made it" like a single random dev deciding your code isn't completely terrible. It's the programming equivalent of being knighted by the Queen. That smile in the second panel is every developer who finally convinced someone besides their mom that their spaghetti code has potential. The bar is literally on the floor, and we're still celebrating clearing it.
