Git Merge Only

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.

The AUDACITY of Monday merges! First you're all confident, strutting around like you're God's gift to version control with your git commit -m "feature done mf" . Then BOOM! Reality slaps you in the face—87 DIFFERENT COMMITS between your branch and production?! THE HORROR! You desperately try git pull --rebase like it's some magical incantation that will save your pathetic developer soul. Those moments of sheer panic as Git does its thing... will your code survive this unholy ritual?! And then—SWEET MERCIFUL BYTES—it actually works! That relief when Git tells you it's successful is better than any drug known to mankind. You've survived another Monday merge. At least until next week, you beautiful disaster.

The education system: "Plagiarism is unacceptable!" Programmers in the wild: "I stole your code." "It's not my code." Welcome to the real world, where Stack Overflow is our collective homework and GitHub is just a sophisticated copying machine with version control. The entire programming industry runs on the ancient art of Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, followed by just enough modifications to avoid triggering the cosmic plagiarism detector. We don't steal code—we "implement existing solutions with attribution via forgotten browser history."

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 AUDACITY of that finger hovering over the deploy button on a Friday! 💀 Nothing says "I hate myself and everyone around me" quite like pushing code right before the weekend. That finger is literally ONE PRESS away from turning your peaceful Saturday morning into a hellscape of emergency Slack notifications and your boss calling you while you're trying to enjoy your cereal. The weekend-ruining potential is just *chef's kiss* magnificent. It's like setting your future self on fire for the mild convenience of not waiting until Monday!

The unholy trinity of "rapid development" is on full display! The tweet claims Git, JavaScript, and Microsoft BASIC were all created in under a week—which is hilariously wrong and the perfect setup for the three-headed dragon meme below. Two fierce dragon heads represent Git and BASIC—powerful tools that required significant development time. But that third head? JavaScript with its derpy eyes and tongue sticking out perfectly captures how JS was indeed cobbled together in 10 days by Brendan Eich in 1995. Fun fact: Linus Torvalds spent months creating Git after the BitKeeper controversy, and BASIC took significant development at Microsoft. Meanwhile, JavaScript—despite being slapped together in a mad rush to compete with Java—somehow powers most of the modern web. Proof that sometimes the derpy dragon wins!
