Git Push: Identity Theft Edition

Ah, the sacred unspoken rules of society! Don't ask women their age, don't ask men their salary, and for the love of all that is holy, DO NOT ask a developer what their commit messages actually mean. That cryptic "Fixed stuff" covering 47 file changes? The mysterious "It works now" with no explanation? The passive-aggressive "Finally fixed the stupid bug"? These are personal diary entries of pain, triumph, and existential crisis that shall remain forever unexplained. Inquiring about commit messages is like asking someone to explain their browser history. Some things are better left buried in the git log where they belong.

Ah, the classic solopreneur delusion! Why validate your idea with a simple landing page when you can disappear into the engineering rabbit hole instead? Nothing says "I'm a serious developer" quite like meticulously crafting a CI/CD pipeline for an app that literally nobody asked for and probably never will. The true entrepreneurial spirit: ignoring market validation in favor of building infrastructure that would impress your developer friends... if only they cared. But hey, at least you'll have the most robust deployment system for your zero users!

You spend hours crafting beautiful Python code, push it to GitHub all proud, and then... *crickets* 🦗 The only response? Three orangutans staring blankly asking "where exe" because they just want the executable! They don't care about your elegant list comprehensions or your perfectly commented functions. They just want to click something and watch it go brrr! ✨ This is why we can't have nice things in programming. Some people just want to run the app without appreciating the beautiful chaos that made it possible!

The horror! The absolute existential dread of discovering your old code lurking in a production codebase. It's like opening a time capsule filled with questionable life choices and embarrassing fashion statements, except this one can crash servers. Every developer has that moment of "who wrote this garbage?" followed by the soul-crushing realization that you are the author of said garbage. The code you wrote six months ago might as well have been written by your evil twin who hates documentation and future-you specifically. The box isn't just holding code—it's containing your shame, your technical debt, and that "temporary" solution that somehow survived three major releases. Touch it? You'd rather stick your hand in a blender. At least the blender would be honest about its intentions.

The four stages of developer enlightenment, perfectly captured in Mr. Incredible's gradual descent into madness. Starts with the blissful ignorance of coding—where you're just vibing, making things work somehow. Then debugging hits and you're slightly unhinged but still optimistic. By version control, you've seen things... dark things... like merge conflicts that make you question reality. And finally, DevOps—where your soul has left your body and you've become one with the void, deploying microservices at 3 AM while muttering "it works on my machine" into the abyss. The progression isn't just about difficulty—it's about the spiritual journey from "I write code" to "I am become Death, destroyer of production environments."

When Git refuses your push, there's always the nuclear option. First, you try to be civilized. Then Git has the audacity to reject your code. So you reach for the --force flag - the coding equivalent of bringing a knife to a negotiation. Sure, it might obliterate your team's work, but hey, that commit message wasn't going to write itself. Remember kids, with great power comes absolutely zero responsibility and potentially several emergency meetings.
