Straight Up Pushing It

When your git branch visualization looks like you're about to nail a sick solo on Expert difficulty. Those colorful lines going every which way? That's not version control anymore—that's a full-blown rhythm game. We've all been there: started with a simple feature branch, forgot to pull, merged the wrong thing, rebased when we shouldn't have, force-pushed out of desperation, and suddenly our git graph looks like someone dropped a bowl of rainbow spaghetti on a guitar fretboard. The commits are bouncing around like notes you're supposed to hit while the crowd watches in horror. Pro tip: When your git log looks like this, just burn it down and git clone fresh. No one needs to know.

The eternal dance of code reviews, beautifully captured in its natural habitat. Reviewer drops a last-minute bombshell requirement that wasn't in any spec. Developer responds with the most honest code documentation ever written—and somehow still gets those sweet, sweet approvals. The best part? It got merged anyway! Nothing says "professional software development" quite like telling your reviewer where to shove their Assembly support and then pushing to master anyway. The 8 likes are from other developers who've been there but never had the courage.

The eternal saga of code reviews in one Slack message. Dude casually drops "i think cursor fixed it, can i merge?" and gets absolutely 875 replies of people tearing his code apart. That's not a code review—that's a digital intervention! Guarantee those replies are filled with "Actually..." and "Well, technically..." comments dissecting his cursor fix like it's a murder scene. Pro tip: never ask if you can merge unless you're prepared for your colleagues to discover every sin you've committed since learning to code.

When your GitHub contributions actually change the world but your YouTube dance videos get all the fame. The knight with 500 GitHub followers stands tall and majestic—a true warrior of code who's probably fixed critical bugs in Linux kernels and contributed to libraries used by millions. Meanwhile, the tiny figure with 2 million YouTube subscribers is just showing off their "Hello World" tutorial with clickbait thumbnails. Real devs know where the true power lies. Quality over quantity, folks!

The Indiana Jones of software development! Carefully eyeing that golden idol of "existing code" like it's a sacred relic, only to swap it with your "new commit" and trigger the boulder of doom—the linter. That moment when you think you've perfectly calculated the weight of your code replacement, but forgot about those pesky tabs vs spaces arguments. Now you're sprinting through the codebase with angry code reviewers throwing spears at your PR. Should've read the tribe's ancient documentation first!

The ultimate recursive nightmare: adding .gitignore to your .gitignore file. It's like telling your version control "please ignore my instructions to ignore things." Then wondering why your repo is either tracking everything or nothing at all. The digital equivalent of putting a "Do Not Disturb" sign on your "Do Not Disturb" sign.
