It's So Simple: Just Follow Each Other

Behold the ULTIMATE time-saving technique that separates the coding peasants from the keyboard royalty! 💅 Why waste precious milliseconds typing "changes" correctly when you can just slam "chnages" into your commit message and save enough time to... I don't know... contemplate your life choices? The sheer AUDACITY of those who meticulously spell-check their commit messages! Meanwhile, the rest of us are living in 3023 with our typo-driven development methodology. Future historians will study this revolutionary approach!

Ah, the sweet moment of realization when you discover your worst enemy is actually yourself from two years ago. Nothing like ranting about "horrible functions" and "antipatterns" only to find git blame pointing directly back at you. The real senior developer milestone isn't writing perfect code—it's having the humility to admit that past-you was an absolute disaster who had no idea what they were doing. And future-you will think the same about present-you. It's the circle of code life.

The education system: "Plagiarism is unacceptable!" Programmers in the wild: "I stole your code." "It's not my code." Welcome to the real world, where Stack Overflow is our collective homework and GitHub is just a sophisticated copying machine with version control. The entire programming industry runs on the ancient art of Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, followed by just enough modifications to avoid triggering the cosmic plagiarism detector. We don't steal code—we "implement existing solutions with attribution via forgotten browser history."

That feeling when your pull request finally gets approved after 47 code reviews, 18 requested changes, and 3 weeks of waiting... You're not just a developer anymore—you're royalty . Sitting on that throne of merged code, looking slightly uncomfortable because deep down you know your hastily added console.log() statements are still in there. The kingdom is yours until QA finds that edge case you totally forgot to test.

OMG, the EVOLUTION of code ownership in three acts of pure DRAMA! 🎭 Act I: Designers having an absolute MELTDOWN over similar ideas. One's all smug while the other is literally CRYING TEARS OF RAGE! The audacity! Act II: Programmers being utterly UNBOTHERED. "I stole your code" meets "It's not my code" with the emotional investment of discussing yesterday's weather. The NONCHALANCE is killing me! Act III: GitHub users achieving PEAK ENLIGHTENMENT. Not only is stealing acknowledged, it's THANKED FOR! This is the digital equivalent of someone breaking into your house and you offering them tea for reorganizing your furniture! Welcome to open source, where your precious code belongs to EVERYONE and nobody simultaneously. What's mine is yours and what's yours is... forked.

When you accidentally push to production instead of staging... 😬 Someone's first day on the job just became their last! Nothing says "I'm fired" quite like leaking government AI plans on GitHub because you confused your repositories. Pro tip: Maybe don't store national secrets with the same tool you use for your personal "learning-to-code" projects. That resume is about to have an interesting gap year.
