I Am Glad There Is Git

The heroic tale of saving an entire company from certain doom... by hitting git reset --hard HEAD~1 and pretending you're a genius. The corporate equivalent of turning it off and on again, but with more dramatic flair and a significantly larger bonus check.

The joke here is so absurd it's brilliant. Someone's claiming Git, JavaScript, and Microsoft BASIC were all created in a week, and therefore are "perfect software." Meanwhile, the three-headed dragon meme shows the reality: they're all monsters, with JavaScript being the derpy one. For those who've spent years battling Git's cryptic error messages, JavaScript's "undefined is not a function" nightmares, or BASIC's spaghetti code limitations, this is pure comedy gold. These tools took years to develop and are still far from perfect. The date stamp of 2025 is just the cherry on top of this satire sundae. It's the software development equivalent of claiming you can build the Golden Gate Bridge with popsicle sticks over a weekend.

Senior devs have this remarkable talent for forgetting their own code. First comes the righteous indignation ("WHO WROTE THIS CODE?"), then the escalating fury ("WHICH IDIOT WROTE THIS?"), followed by the team's gentle reminder that it was, in fact, their masterpiece. The final panel's silent "OH" captures that beautiful moment when you realize you're yelling at your past self. Git blame is truly the greatest humbler in software engineering.

Blind as a bat when reviewing your own code, but suddenly equipped with NASA-grade telescope vision when it's someone else's mess. Nothing quite like the supernatural ability to spot every single anti-pattern, security vulnerability, and poorly named variable in code you didn't write, while your own masterpiece—complete with commented-out debug statements from 2019 and that one function named temp_fix_delete_later_v4 —somehow looks flawless. The real code review superpower isn't finding bugs, it's the selective blindness we develop for our own crimes against computing.

That magical moment when you've spent 45 minutes troubleshooting why your Git push is failing, only to realize you're still using your password instead of a personal access token. The butterfly represents that elusive token you created six months ago and promptly forgot about. GitHub's like "Nice try with that password from 2019, but we've moved on. Maybe you should too." The eternal dance of modern authentication vs. your stubborn muscle memory continues...

When your code review finally gets personal. This guy skipped all the polite GitHub comments like "consider refactoring this method" and went straight for the jugular. Reminds me of that senior dev who once told me my variable naming convention was "a crime against humanity." The truth hurts, but at least he didn't create a PowerPoint presentation about my nested if statements.
