You're staring at a merge conflict, trying to decide whether to keep --ours or --theirs, and your brain just... stops working. Is "ours" YOUR branch or the one you're merging into? Wait, which branch am I even on right now? Is "theirs" the feature branch or main?
So naturally, you panic and hit git checkout ... hoping muscle memory will save you, only to realize you've just nuked all your conflict resolution progress and now you're back to square one. Classic developer moment where the terminology designed to be helpful becomes your worst enemy.
Pro tip: "ours" is the branch you're currently ON, and "theirs" is the branch you're merging IN. But let's be honest, you'll forget this again next week and we'll be right back here sweating over those two buttons.
