Some Intern Is Getting Fired

The natural evolution of a programmer's code sources, illustrated with perfect animal metaphors. Your journey begins with "some random blog" (scrawny rat) for those desperate 2AM solutions. Then you graduate to GitHub (slightly more respectable dog) where at least someone reviewed the code. Stack Overflow (fat rat) is where you go when you're truly desperate - bloated with answers but somehow still works. And finally, "my code" - that weird hybrid creature that somehow functions despite looking like it was assembled from spare parts at 4AM after 6 energy drinks. It's not pretty, but it walks! Ship it to production!

The unholy trinity of "rapid development" is on full display! The tweet claims Git, JavaScript, and Microsoft BASIC were all created in under a week—which is hilariously wrong and the perfect setup for the three-headed dragon meme below. Two fierce dragon heads represent Git and BASIC—powerful tools that required significant development time. But that third head? JavaScript with its derpy eyes and tongue sticking out perfectly captures how JS was indeed cobbled together in 10 days by Brendan Eich in 1995. Fun fact: Linus Torvalds spent months creating Git after the BitKeeper controversy, and BASIC took significant development at Microsoft. Meanwhile, JavaScript—despite being slapped together in a mad rush to compete with Java—somehow powers most of the modern web. Proof that sometimes the derpy dragon wins!

That one developer who lurks silently in code reviews until they can suggest a complete rewrite. Nothing brings joy like suggesting nuclear options for trivial problems. "Oh, you found a small bug in the login form? Have you considered rebuilding the entire authentication system in Rust?" The Batman "Bonjour" perfectly captures that moment when you pop out of nowhere with the most unnecessarily dramatic solution possible. Classic senior developer move - fixing a paper cut with a chainsaw.

The eternal developer paradox: a mind full of brilliant GitHub repositories that will never see the light of day. We all have that folder of half-started projects with incredible READMEs and zero commits. "I should just end it tbh fam" perfectly captures that moment when you realize your 15th revolutionary app idea will join the graveyard of your other 14 revolutionary app ideas. The cat's judging stare is basically your conscience watching you open a new VS Code window instead of finishing literally anything else.

When someone questions your sanity for having 229 commits and 213 additions on master, but you're just sitting there knowing you're not the crazy one. It's everyone else who's insane for not committing directly to master with reckless abandon. The cat's defensive posture perfectly captures that moment when you have to explain your workflow choices to the team. Feature branches? Pull requests? Code review? Those are for people who don't live dangerously. You've transcended such mortal concerns and achieved enlightenment through chaos. The git stats in the terminal just add that extra layer of "yeah, I did that" energy. 229 commits straight to production because you're built different.

The programmer's secret calendar language! Those green squares in the GitHub contributions graph spell out "HOLIDAYS" when viewed by date. Non-technical managers just see random days off, but fellow devs recognize the sacred art of commit-graph-art. Taking PTO to complete your contribution masterpiece is peak developer dedication. The perfect crime—your manager thinks you're on vacation while you're actually cementing your legacy in version control history.
