Half Of Them Are Hello World

When politics meets version control and developers collectively facepalm! The fake news headline about an executive order forcing Git to revert from 'main' back to 'master' branches is peak tech-politics satire. For context: many Git repositories changed default branch names from 'master' to 'main' around 2020 to use more inclusive terminology. The joke imagines a world where government mandates coding conventions—like forcing everyone to use tabs instead of spaces or declaring semicolons mandatory. Next up: executive order making all boolean variables named 'isTrump' default to TRUE.

The classic "I'll just work on this quick side project" to "oh god what have I done" pipeline. Five hours of Java coding, feeling all proud about your brilliant creation, only to realize you forgot version control. Now you're frantically typing rm *.java followed by git add *.class commands like a madman, trying to salvage what's left of your dignity. The face of pure desperation in that last panel is the universal developer expression for "I've made a terrible mistake." That moment when you realize you've been adding compiled files instead of source code to your repo is the closest programmers get to an out-of-body experience.

Dad bursts in with his cowboy hat energy while junior's GitHub contributions page looks like a graveyard of red X's. Nothing says "I'm coding" like having absolutely nothing to show for it. The classic parent-developer relationship – they think we're building the next Facebook, but really we're just staring at Stack Overflow and hoping our failed PR doesn't get mentioned at the next standup. The commit history doesn't lie, kid.

Microsoft's "brilliant" business strategy exposed! 🧠💰 Step 1: Pay engineers to build something Step 2: Fire those same engineers Step 3: Make the product open source Step 4: Watch the now-unemployed engineers maintain it for free Step 5: Profit The ultimate corporate galaxy brain move - why pay for labor when you can exploit passion projects and community goodwill? Nothing says "we value developers" quite like turning your workforce into unpaid volunteers!

Finally, someone brave enough to decode the cryptic art of version numbering! The major version gets bumped when you're feeling particularly smug about your code. The minor version? That's just for the mundane Tuesday releases. But that patch number? That's where the bodies are buried—all those emergency fixes for bugs you swore didn't exist during code review. "No no, that 123 isn't a frantic weekend of hotfixes... it's a feature richness indicator ." Sure, buddy. We all know the truth behind those triple-digit patches. It's basically a shame counter.

The GitHub contribution graph—where darker green means you're a coding machine and lighter green means you occasionally remember your password. The interviewer is confused because this guy's squares are dark green (meaning tons of commits) but somehow he has "less contributions." Plot twist: he's just really good at squashing 47 panicked debug commits into one elegant pull request. His smug "I got it right the first time" response is the programming equivalent of claiming you've never googled "how to center a div" or "what does NaN mean again?"
