It's So Simple: Just Follow Each Other

The eternal Git confession we all make but never admit to. You know that moment when you've been wrestling with merge conflicts for two hours, documentation is just a suggestion, and suddenly git push -f starts looking like a completely reasonable life choice? That's this meme in its purest form. The "it" being pushed is both the code AND the responsibility for whatever chaos ensues. The typo in "JUSTR" is just *chef's kiss* - perfectly representing the frantic energy of someone who's about to nuke the remote repository while muttering "I'll fix it in production."

Ah, the Linux purist paradox. Proudly declares "MS is bullshit" while mentioning they use Arch (because of course they do), but then gets absolutely triggered when asked about using GitHub (owned by Microsoft), VS Code (Microsoft's editor), or NPM (runs on Microsoft infrastructure). Nothing says "I have principles" quite like selectively applying them only when it doesn't inconvenience your workflow. The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.

The nuclear option for any developer with commit access. Nothing says "I choose violence today" quite like force-pushing to master without code review. In most companies, this is the digital equivalent of pulling the fire alarm while simultaneously deleting the production database. Five million dollars? Please. The sheer chaos you'd create would be priceless—and your termination paperwork would probably be processed before the build pipeline even finishes failing. Bonus points if you do it on a Friday at 4:59 PM right before a holiday weekend.

Ah, Git. The tool we all praise in public and curse in private. The first panel is that classic tech presentation where someone's overselling Git with buzzwords like "distributed graph theory tree model" – as if that helps anyone understand it. Then comes the brutal truth bomb: nobody actually understands Git. We just memorize arcane incantations, pray they work, and when they inevitably fail, we resort to the time-honored tradition of nuking the repo and starting fresh. Twenty years in the industry and I still sometimes find myself thinking "git add, git commit, git push" and if that doesn't work... well, there's always rm -rf and clone again. Some tools you use; Git uses you.

The ultimate manifestation of programmer desperation: slapping a crying cat meme on your car begging for code review approvals. When your pull requests have been sitting in limbo for so long that you've resorted to vehicular advertising. That sad little "just let me merge pls" hits different when you've been waiting three days for Chad from backend to stop "getting to it later." Next level: hiring skywriters to beg senior devs to approve your commits.

The eternal cycle of side project enthusiasm. Top panel: Day 1, euphoric excitement, telling everyone how revolutionary your idea is and how you'll finish it in a weekend. Bottom panel: Day 3, staring blankly at your terminal as you realize you've created an unholy abomination of dependencies that would make Cthulhu weep. That API key commit to main branch? Chef's kiss of despair. The only thing growing faster than your git commit messages is your collection of Stack Overflow tabs.
