In Git We Trust

The eternal GitHub vs GitLab debate summed up in one perfect comic. Sure, Mom says she loves both platforms equally, but we all know where her Git repository really lies. Let's be honest - every dev team claims to be "platform agnostic" until it's time to actually choose where to host code. Then suddenly GitHub gets all the attention while GitLab sits in the corner wondering why its CI/CD pipeline and integrated DevOps features aren't enough to win Mom's heart. The "by a lot" is what kills me. It's that brutal honesty you only get after 3am during a production outage.

Oh. My. GOD. The three stages of Git desperation captured in their natural habitat! 😱 On the left, we have the blissfully ignorant newbie who thinks git clone is the height of sophistication. HONEY, JUST WAIT. In the middle? That's you after discovering the UNHOLY TRINITY of git commands - cherry-pick , bisect , and rebase . The tears! The grinding teeth! The DRAMA of it all! And finally, the dark side. When you've stared into the abyss so long you've become one with it. rm -rf repo is no longer a tragedy - it's SWEET RELEASE. The bell curve doesn't lie, darling. We all end up in the same Git hell eventually. Resistance is FUTILE!

Eight years of architecture decisions, three frameworks, and countless refactors... all resting on that one script Jerry wrote during his internship in 2016 that nobody understands but somehow keeps the entire billing system alive. The script that runs at 3 AM every Tuesday from his personal Raspberry Pi under his desk that he forgot to mention when he left for Google. The script that finally decided today was the day to give up. The technical debt collectors have arrived, and they're not accepting payment plans.

This developer just casually created an "app skeleton" with 3,163 files changed and +637,124 lines of code in a SINGLE commit. That's not a skeleton—that's an entire digital cemetery! When most of us create a "skeleton app," we mean a few files and basic structure. This person apparently thinks "skeleton" means "fully formed creature with organs, skin, and probably its own consciousness." The PR is even marked "Ready to merge" with no reviews requested. Bold strategy—let's see if anyone survives the code review!

Behold the sacred gender symbols of our time! Female? Simple. Male? Basic. But a PROGRAMMER ? Honey, that's a whole different species with arrows pointing in MULTIPLE directions simultaneously while juggling a USB stick! Because why commit to just ONE path when you can have 17 git branches, 42 browser tabs, and an existential crisis before lunch? The programmer gender doesn't just multitask—it multi-EXISTS in parallel universes where both solutions work and fail at the same time. Schrödinger's code, darling!

Intelligence and programming knowledge are two entirely different beasts. Nothing quite says "senior developer" like Googling basic Git commands for the 500th time while your partner questions their life choices. The rubber duck is probably the smartest entity in this relationship. Fun fact: The average developer spends approximately 30% of their career pretending they understand what a pipe does. The other 70% is spent explaining to non-technical people that no, they can't hack Facebook.
