Rip Firefox: When Promises Get Deleted In A Commit

That special moment when you've kicked off a CI pipeline that takes 20 minutes to run, so you stare intensely at your screen pretending to be productive. Your brain is actually 99% focused on refreshing that pipeline status page every 12 seconds while the remaining 1% attempts to look busy when your manager walks by. The modern developer's version of watching paint dry – except with more anxiety and coffee.

Nothing like the sweet moment of realization that the code you're cursing was written by your past self. That special feeling when you open a project after a break and wonder what sleep-deprived maniac wrote those incomprehensible functions... only to check git blame and find your own name. The circle of developer life: write code, forget code, hate code, realize it was you all along. Future you is always judging present you, and they're not impressed.

A dollar bill with "IN GOD WE TRUST" modified to read "IN GIT WE TRUST." Because let's face it, version control is the only thing standing between us and complete chaos. Your code might be worthless, but at least Git remembers what it looked like when it actually worked three commits ago. The true religion of developers isn't coffee or Stack Overflow—it's the ability to blame someone else via git blame.

That irrational urge to fork every major open source project hits differently at 3 AM. "Just in case GitHub disappears tomorrow" is what we tell ourselves, as if we're single-handedly preserving digital history. Meanwhile, our GitHub account becomes a digital hoarding museum with zero commits and that sweet, sweet dopamine hit of seeing 500+ repositories in our profile. It's basically the programmer equivalent of buying books you'll "definitely read someday."

That moment when your Git merge turns into a hostile takeover. The cartoon dog screaming "LET ME MERGE" perfectly captures the primal rage that bubbles up when your perfectly crafted branch gets rejected for the 17th time. It's basically Git's version of road rage – stuck on the highway of version control with no exit in sight. Your code isn't asking for permission anymore, it's demanding to be let in. Next step: force push and pray no one notices the git history looking like abstract art.

Ah, the legendary "security by obscurity" approach! This poor soul thinks removing their password from a list of common passwords will protect them from hackers. Meanwhile, they're literally broadcasting their password ("dolphins") by showing the diff where they're removing it from the file. It's like putting a "DEFINITELY NOT HIDING MONEY HERE" sign on your mattress. The 263 thumbs up and 353 laughing reactions show everyone appreciates this spectacular self-own. Security experts everywhere just collectively facepalmed so hard they broke their mechanical keyboards.
