Programmer Rizz: Git Commit To Love

The classic highway exit meme strikes again! Here we have the lone developer of a side project making that sharp right turn away from actually finishing a working MVP. Instead, they're veering off into the abyss of "what if I add this one more feature" and "maybe I should refactor this entire section for the fifth time." Let's be honest - we've all got at least three half-finished GitHub repos that started with grand ambitions. You know, the ones where commit messages gradually evolve from "Initial commit" to "Fixed minor bug" to "WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING" before finally reaching "Last commit before abandonment (2019)." The road to production is paved with the corpses of hobby projects that died because we just had to implement that custom authentication system instead of using Auth0 like a normal person.

SWEET MERCIFUL CODE GODS! The most powerful entity in software development isn't your tech lead—it's that desperate little feline begging for your approval! While you're drowning in 47 Jira tickets, this adorable catastrophe is just waiting for someone, ANYONE, to merge their changes into the sacred main branch. The sheer DRAMA of waiting for code review approval has literally transformed this developer into a pleading kitten. And honestly? Same. Nothing says "I've lost all dignity" quite like peeking over a chair asking for your pull request to be approved after you've spent three days refactoring that nightmare function everyone was too scared to touch! 🙀

Ah yes, the most sophisticated version control system: hiding your .git folder inside the Windows directory. Because nothing says "I trust my code management skills" like burying your repository next to system files where no mortal dares to tread. Security through obscurity at its finest. The digital equivalent of hiding your house key under a rock that says "Not a key here."

Ah, the classic "too many cooks" scenario but with programmers! The left shows a beautifully simple, straight railway track representing your solo coding journey—clean, predictable, and headed in one clear direction. Then management decides that "adding more programmers will speed things up," and suddenly your elegant project transforms into that chaotic railway junction on the right—a tangled mess of conflicting ideas, merge conflicts, and "but on MY machine it works perfectly." It's the software development equivalent of trying to make a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant. Some problems just don't scale linearly with headcount, and codebases are notoriously allergic to sudden influxes of new contributors who each bring their own "brilliant" ideas to the table.

That golden retriever isn't just staring into your soul—it's staring at your unfinished Git commits. The dog can literally smell your procrastination through the screen. Right now, you've got 47 Slack notifications, a deadline in 3 hours, and yet here you are, looking at memes about not working instead of actually working. The dog knows. The dog always knows. And that judgmental canine gaze will follow you back to your IDE where that one function has been half-implemented since Tuesday.

Ah, the legendary GitHub pull request to rewrite Twitter in COBOL! For the uninitiated, COBOL is a programming language from the 1950s that's still running critical banking systems and government infrastructure, but about as suited for modern social media as a steam engine is for space travel. The satirical PR suggestion is pure comedy gold—imagine handling Twitter's real-time feeds and media processing with a language designed when computers took up entire rooms and "memory" meant physical punch cards! The 17 thumbs-up reactions show there are plenty of developers with a sense of humor (or masochistic tendencies). Meanwhile, somewhere a mainframe administrator is breaking into a cold sweat thinking about the 400-column code needed just to display a single tweet.
