Society If Github Had A Setting To Hide Whitespace Changes On All PRs

Ah, the ancient hieroglyphics of code written before the holiday break. You stare at it like an archaeologist trying to decipher a dead language. "Who wrote this?" you wonder, before checking git blame and realizing it was you... three weeks ago. The coffee isn't strong enough for this level of amnesia. Your brain has completely purged all context about what the hell you were thinking when you wrote that nested ternary operator. Just approve it and type "LGTM" (Looks Good To Me), because honestly, who even remembers how this codebase works anymore?

When your branch is stable enough for production but senior devs won't give you merge permissions. Welcome to git politics, where your code's quality matters less than your job title. The irony of being told to fix merge conflicts when you're literally not allowed to merge. That commit hash at the bottom is probably longer than your career at this company.

The pot calling the kettle black has never been so ironic. Software engineers spend half their careers staring at legacy code muttering "who wrote this garbage?" before checking git blame and discovering it was themselves three months ago. The sacred ritual of cursing your predecessors' code is basically our version of a stand-up meeting - mandatory and therapeutic. Next time you're refactoring some unholy mess, remember: somewhere, an electrician is looking at your home wiring thinking the exact same thing.

OH. MY. GOD. The eternal struggle of every developer's existence captured in one GLORIOUS meme! What we're DYING to scream during code reviews (rainbow "Born to say F*** OFF") versus what we're FORCED to type with our trembling fingers ("Good catch! I will fix that in a next commit, thanks!"). The duality of programmer life is just SO DRAMATIC! We're out here swallowing our pride and pretending we're grateful when someone points out our mistakes, while internally our souls are LITERALLY COMBUSTING with rage! The paperclip emoji is just *chef's kiss* - like our own personal Clippy witnessing our professional façade crumbling in real-time! The restraint it takes not to throw your mechanical keyboard through a window deserves an Oscar!

You know you've entered dangerous territory when your commit messages have devolved into single words. "Fixes" becomes your entire vocabulary after the 47th commit of the day. The panic sets in when you realize your git history looks like: "fixes", "more fixes", "actually fixes it", "fixes for real this time", "I swear this fixes it". The git commit -m "" with an empty message is the developer equivalent of giving up on life itself. You've transcended beyond words. Beyond meaning. Beyond caring what your teammates will think when they see your commit history tomorrow. It's pure surrender in command-line form. Pro tip: Your future self reviewing the git log at 2 PM on a Tuesday will absolutely despise present you for this. But hey, at least you're consistent in your inconsistency.

Nothing says professional software development like a PR comment section that reads like a WWE trash talk segment. You'll find two devs absolutely shredding each other's code choices ("Who taught you to nest ternaries like that? A terrorist?"), only to be grabbing virtual beers five minutes later once the merge is complete. The code review battlefield creates the strongest bonds in tech.
