Git Merge Only

The 2:34 AM text message that ruins your sleep cycle faster than a memory leak. Nothing says "professional workplace" like getting blasted for missing a meeting you weren't even invited to, followed by a critique of your commit messages that could've waited until business hours. The cherry on top? That passive-aggressive "YOLO" sign-off. Because nothing screams "I'm a reasonable team lead" like sending career threats via text message in the middle of the night and ending with 2010's most overused acronym. This is why developers keep their phones on silent and their resumes updated.

Ah, the unholy trinity of developer nightmares presented as dark magic symbols! These three commands represent career-ending mistakes that haunt the dreams of tech professionals: DROP DATABASE - The database equivalent of a tactical nuke. One second your data exists, the next second your resume is being updated. rm -rf /* - The Linux command that says "I'd like everything on this system deleted, please and thank you." Hope you enjoyed having files! git push --force - The team collaboration destroyer. Nothing says "my code is more important than everyone else's work" quite like overwriting the shared repository history. Execute any of these in production without a backup, and you might as well start practicing the phrase "Would you like fries with that?"

In the realm of developer clout, 500 GitHub followers makes you practically royalty, while 2 million YouTube subscribers is just... meh. Nothing says "I've made it" like having a handful of fellow nerds who appreciate your elegant solutions to problems nobody else understands. YouTube fame is for the masses—GitHub fame is for the classes. The true knights of the coding round table don't need dance videos and clickbait thumbnails to prove their worth—just clean commits and well-documented PRs.

The GitHub contribution graph: where your self-worth as a developer gets reduced to little green squares. We've got "Just a Developer" with their random sprinkles of productivity, "The Weekender" who only codes when normal people are partying, and "The Unrealistic Expectations" who apparently never sleeps, eats, or touches grass. Don't forget "Getting Ready to Search for a New Job" with that sudden burst of activity right before updating the resume. The "GitHub Wizard" trying to look consistently productive, "The Mondrian" creating actual art with their commits, and "The Cupid Shuffle" forming little hearts because... why code efficiently when you can make your contribution graph look pretty? Remember kids, quantity of commits ≠ quality of code. But try telling that to recruiters who think your GitHub activity is a personality test.

Nobody tells you the truth in engineering school. We don't implement CI/CD because it's "industry best practice" or because some architecture astronaut said so. We do it for that sweet, sweet dopamine hit when all the build checks turn green. It's basically developer cocaine. The satisfaction of seeing five successful builds in a row might be the only thing keeping some of us from switching to careers in gardening.

The classic software development Schrödinger experiment: tests are both passing and failing simultaneously until you observe the coverage. Sure, the GitHub badge proudly shows green with "Tests passing" - technically not lying. Meanwhile, the 0% coverage badge silently screams "we wrote exactly ONE test that checks if true equals true." The digital equivalent of putting a single piece of tape over your check engine light and declaring the car "fully serviced."
