The Last .Gitignore You Will Ever Need

The sweet, sweet dopamine hit of seeing "no conflicts with base branch" is better than any drug on the market. That magical green checkmark means your code won't trigger a three-hour merge nightmare where you question your career choices. Developers spend 90% of their time dreading merge conflicts and 10% celebrating when they don't happen. It's the little things in life - like when Git doesn't make you want to throw your laptop out the window.

That fleeting moment of glory when your code doesn't immediately set the servers on fire. You're strutting around like a superhero while your Slack blows up with messages. Just wait until they find that one edge case you didn't test for. Enjoy the dopamine while it lasts, friend.

When your dating life and Git workflow become one and the same. First guy found a partner who can actually commit (unlike most of his ex-branches), then the reply takes it to the next level with "glad you two merged" - because why have separate repositories when you can join forces? The "I'll see myself out" is the perfect git push after dropping that pun. Finding love in the comments section of a bug report might be the most developer thing ever. Still better than meeting on Stack Overflow where they'd close your dating profile as "duplicate" or "too broad."

The pain of revisiting your brainchild only to find it's been "enhanced" by the new maintainers is a special kind of developer trauma. You pour your soul into clean architecture, sensible naming conventions, and thoughtful documentation—then return months later to find spaghetti code, 1000-line functions, and variables named "temp1" through "temp47." It's like watching your elegant creation get transformed into a coding horror show that would make even Stack Overflow moderators weep. The git blame feature becomes your personal torture device as you scroll through the commit history and whisper "what have they done to you?"

This developer just casually created an "app skeleton" with 3,163 files changed and +637,124 lines of code in a SINGLE commit. That's not a skeleton—that's an entire digital cemetery! When most of us create a "skeleton app," we mean a few files and basic structure. This person apparently thinks "skeleton" means "fully formed creature with organs, skin, and probably its own consciousness." The PR is even marked "Ready to merge" with no reviews requested. Bold strategy—let's see if anyone survives the code review!

The peak of work-from-home efficiency right here. When your deadline's in 20 minutes and nature calls simultaneously, you make adjustments. The sunglasses aren't for style—they're to hide the dead look in your eyes after merging conflicts for 8 hours straight. Nothing says "senior developer" like pushing code to production while pushing... other things... to completion. Multithreading at its finest.
