The Intern Is Not Gonna Make It Bro

Nothing says "I'm from a different era of computing" like sending a PDF of a printout instead of a Git repo link. That senior dev probably still has a drawer full of floppy disks "just in case." Next they'll tell you to compile it by feeding the paper into your CD drive and typing "make oldschool." The digital equivalent of getting directions via fax machine when you asked for GPS coordinates.

The AUDACITY of junior developers forming their own little code cartel! 💀 Two identical devs with matching fanny packs and questionable haircuts, shaking hands in a secret pact to approve each other's merge requests without adult supervision. It's like watching toddlers decide they can cross the street by themselves because they've successfully put their own shoes on. The codebase is LITERALLY TREMBLING in fear as these two bypass every senior review process with their little "I'll approve yours if you approve mine" scheme. The production environment is one merge away from spontaneous combustion!

Welcome to the Linux kernel's GitHub page, where the pull requests are apparently doubling as Tinder profiles. Nothing says "I understand open source contribution" like announcing your relationship status in a PR title. What's next? "Fixed memory leak, also I do CrossFit"? "Optimized driver code, btw I'm vegan"? "Patched security vulnerability, anyone want to see my cat pics?" And 504 open PRs? Linus must be having an aneurysm somewhere. The only thing getting merged here is desperation with code.

Ah, Linus Torvalds reviewing your pull request. That "1228" comments counter isn't a bug—it's a feature showing exactly how many ways your code violates kernel standards. Nothing says "I love your contribution" like enough feedback to fill a small novel. Your weekend plans just got replaced with deciphering variations of "No." and "This is terrible." At least rejection would've been quick and merciful.

Brain: "Hey you goin' to sleep?" Dev: "Yes, now shut up" Brain: "You committed the API Keys to a public repo" Nothing jolts a developer from the edge of sleep like remembering they accidentally pushed sensitive credentials to GitHub. That moment when your brain reminds you that your AWS keys are now visible to every bot scraping public repos, and your company credit card is about to fund someone's crypto mining operation in Siberia. Sweet dreams!

Started coding a "simple hash function" and GitHub Copilot went full existential crisis mode. Started reasonable with "not cryptographically secure, but fast" then spiraled into "not guaranteed to be stable across different phases of the moon" and "different parallel universes." This is what happens when your AI assistant has seen one too many 3 AM debugging sessions. Somewhere in Silicon Valley, a neural network is clearly having PTSD flashbacks from training on StackOverflow comments.
