Git Push: Identity Theft Edition

When you git commit and git push , your code gracefully soars into the repository like a well-engineered aircraft. But those unsaved files in VS Code? They're like desperate passengers on a staircase to nowhere—no safety net, just one power outage away from oblivion. The number of times I've lost hours of work because I was "just testing something real quick" before saving... Let's just say I've developed a nervous twitch that hits Ctrl+S every 12 seconds.

The secret sauce of looking like you know what you're doing in tech isn't the code—it's the performance art. Turn a monitor vertical, squint thoughtfully at some blue-themed IDE while occasionally muttering "scope issue" or "need to commit these changes," and suddenly you're the office wizard. The best part? The more confused you actually are, the more convincingly profound you appear. Seven years as a lead developer and I still do this during standup when I haven't made any progress since yesterday.

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!

OMG, the absolute CHAOS of development teams in their natural habitat! 💀 First we have someone proudly announcing "the energy I bring to the team" followed by their comment "i'm merging it. f*ck the tests" - the battle cry of every developer with a deadline breathing down their neck! Then the cherry on top: "writing testcases for your code is doubting your own coding abilities. it's a sign of weakness." EXCUSE ME?! That's like saying using a parachute when skydiving shows a lack of confidence in gravity! The sheer AUDACITY of these developers thinking their code is immaculate conception that needs no verification! Future bugs are literally SCREAMING in excitement waiting to be deployed to production!

Ah, the ancient hieroglyphics of code written before the holiday break. You stare at it like an archaeologist trying to decipher a dead language. "Who wrote this?" you wonder, before checking git blame and realizing it was you... three weeks ago. The coffee isn't strong enough for this level of amnesia. Your brain has completely purged all context about what the hell you were thinking when you wrote that nested ternary operator. Just approve it and type "LGTM" (Looks Good To Me), because honestly, who even remembers how this codebase works anymore?

The Terminator's code review process is brutally efficient. Junior dev thinks creating a PR means they're done, but they've forgotten the most important part—getting their Tech Lead's approval. And just like the Terminator's cold delivery of bad news, there's no sugar-coating it when your TL has abandoned the project, gone on vacation, or worse... left for another company. Now your code is stuck in PR purgatory, neither alive nor dead, just waiting... forever.
