I Believe It's Still Not Fixed But I Don't Care

The five stages of grief, but for CI/CD pipelines. Started with "ci bruh" (the only commit that actually passed), then descended into pure existential dread with commits like "i hate CI", "I cant belive it", and my personal favorite, "CI u in h..." which got cut off but we all know where that was going. Fourteen commits. All on the same day. All failing except the first one. The developer went through denial ("bro i got to fix CI"), anger ("i hate CI"), bargaining ("Try CI again"), and eventually just... gave up on creative commit messages entirely. "CI", "CI again", "CI U again"—truly the work of someone whose soul has left their body. The best part? "Finally Fix CI" at commit 14 still failed. Because of course it did. That's not optimism, that's Stockholm syndrome. When your commit messages turn into a cry for help and your CI pipeline is still red, maybe it's time to just push to production and let chaos decide.

Trillion-dollar companies running on code maintained by some sleep-deprived dev who's fixing bugs between Ramen meals. The backbone of modern civilization balanced on the shoulders of people who get thanked with GitHub stars instead of actual money. Next time your bank's app works, thank the ant-sized heroes keeping the digital elephant upright with nothing but caffeine and spite.

Nothing strikes fear into a developer's heart quite like asking colleagues to review code. The bear in this meme represents that senior dev who's been "too busy" to look at your PR for two weeks straight. The title "LGTM" (Looks Good To Me) is the holy grail response we all want but rarely get without 47 nitpicky comments about your variable naming conventions. The survival strategy works both in forests and open office plans - just ask someone who wants to avoid you to do something for you, and watch them magically disappear faster than documentation during a deadline crunch.

Looks like we've reached peak dystopia. Your git client is now serving ads for mobile games during commits. Next up: your compiler will pause halfway through to ask if you'd like to watch a 30-second video for extra optimization flags. Remember when our tools just... did their jobs without trying to sell us stuff? Those were the days. At least they're offering $20 off something you'll never buy, so there's that.

Ah, the sacred art of commit messages. The sign demands "Commit messages must contain actual information" while the developer mutters "If those kids could read they'd be very upset." Nothing quite captures the essence of developer rebellion like pushing code with messages like "fixed stuff," "it works now," and the ever-popular "some bug fixes." Sure, future-you will have absolutely no idea what changes were made or why, but present-you saved a whole 15 seconds not documenting properly. Brilliant strategy!

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.
