Gitignore Under Gitignore

The eternal developer paradox: spending four hours debugging when the solution was right there in the README all along. Nothing builds character like reinventing wheels at 2 AM while the documentation silently judges you from an unopened tab. The timestamp really sells it - clearly the wisdom that comes after you've already done it the hard way.

The expectation vs reality of code collaboration. Left side: dreamy thoughts about teamwork and shared brilliance. Right side: the existential crisis that hits when you actually see their spaghetti code with zero comments, nested ternaries, and variables named 'x1', 'x2', and 'final_x_i_promise'. Nothing quite matches the psychological damage of inheriting someone's "it works, don't touch it" masterpiece.

Behold, the modern developer in their natural habitat! This isn't just coding—it's vibe coding . Who needs security best practices when you can just commit API keys directly to GitHub? It's like hiding your house key under the doormat, except the doormat is indexed by Google. Documentation? Tests? Please. Those are for developers who don't name their variables with the perfect aesthetic. Why write tests when you can spend three hours curating the perfect lo-fi playlist that you'll listen to while not writing tests? The true art form isn't solving problems—it's creating new PRs to fix your previous PRs while your IDE looks absolutely fabulous with that custom theme you spent a day configuring. And when everything is literally on fire? That's the perfect time to update your GitHub profile README. Priorities, people!

The year is 2025. Microsoft has fully absorbed GitHub, and the dystopian nightmare begins. GitHub users cower in fear as Microsoft whispers "Come closer..." only to drop the bombshell: "I NEED YOU TO ADD IPV6 SUPPORT TO GITHUB." It's the ultimate plot twist! After all the fears of Microsoft injecting telemetry, ads, or subscription tiers into GitHub, they're just desperately trying to drag their acquisition into modern networking standards. Still running on legacy IPv4 in 2025? That's the real horror story! The internet ran out of IPv4 addresses years ago, but GitHub's still clinging to them like SpongeBob to his spatula.

The sacred rule of Git: force pushing is like playing with explosives. On your own feature branch? Sure, blow it up, it's your mess to clean. But on master? You've just committed the cardinal sin of version control. That -f flag might as well stand for "future regret" when you obliterate everyone else's work with your divine intervention. Nothing says "I'm the captain now" quite like rewriting shared history without consent. Pro tip: Want to make enemies at work? Force push to master on Friday at 4:55 PM and turn off Slack notifications.

The silent war between developers in a shared repository is brutal. One minute you're proudly displaying your "Days Since Our Last Incident" counter, and the next minute your coworker executes the nuclear option: git rm -rf <repo> followed by git clone <repo> . That's not version control—that's version annihilation . It's the coding equivalent of "have you tried turning it off and on again?" but with a side of existential dread as you watch your commit history potentially vanish into the void. The look of betrayal in the first panel versus the cold, merciless expression in the second panel perfectly captures the emotional damage of repository scorched-earth tactics.
