Karma Farming On Github

The ultimate trust exercise isn't falling backward into someone's arms—it's watching a coworker create an alias that maps git to rm -rf / . For the uninitiated, this command essentially tells your computer "please delete everything, and don't ask questions." The growing horror on the guy's face perfectly captures that moment when you realize your entire filesystem is one accidental Git command away from digital oblivion. This isn't just shooting yourself in the foot—it's nuking the entire continent you're standing on and calling it a "productivity hack."

The sweet bliss of chaos delegation! Nothing says "not my problem anymore" like pushing an 8000-line code monstrosity to GitHub and immediately entering hibernation mode. Your colleagues will wake up to that absolute unit of a pull request while you're dreaming peacefully, completely disconnected from the impending code review apocalypse. The perfect crime doesn't exi— Meanwhile, when someone else does this to you, it's suddenly a war crime worthy of The Hague. Funny how that works.

When your code review finally gets personal. This guy skipped all the polite GitHub comments like "consider refactoring this method" and went straight for the jugular. Reminds me of that senior dev who once told me my variable naming convention was "a crime against humanity." The truth hurts, but at least he didn't create a PowerPoint presentation about my nested if statements.

The enthusiasm of typing git init versus the crushing weight of responsibility that follows is a universal constant. It's that moment when you're like "I'm gonna build the next billion-dollar app!" and then your side project stares down at you judgmentally from the rooftop of abandoned ambition for the next 3 years. The folder sits there, taking up 12KB of disk space and 600GB of guilt.

Ah, the classic code review battlefield! 🔥 Nothing triggers a developer's fight-or-flight response faster than hearing "Your code will work but I don't like the way it is implemented." It's like telling someone their baby is ugly but functional. 😂 We've all been there - spent hours crafting what we think is a masterpiece, only for some senior dev to casually suggest a "small refactor" that invalidates your entire approach. The code passes all tests? Runs perfectly? Doesn't matter! It's not elegant enough for their refined taste buds. This is basically the programming equivalent of starting a bar fight. Keyboards will fly, Stack Overflow links will be weaponized, and someone's going to end up crying into their mechanical keyboard at 2am while rewriting everything.

That moment of sheer horror when you're gleefully criticizing some atrocious code only to have your brain whisper, "Wait... that variable naming convention looks suspiciously familiar..." Suddenly your righteous indignation transforms into existential dread as you realize you're not reviewing someone else's crime against programming—you're staring at your own code from three weeks ago. Nothing humbles a developer faster than becoming the archaeologist of your own terrible decisions.
