The Most Important Terminal Command

Oh. My. GOD. The eternal struggle between non-technical managers and developers summed up in four glorious panels! 😱 On the left: The developer's face of pure AGONY as they reply "LGTM" (Looks Good To Me) without actually reviewing a SINGLE LINE of code because they're drowning in their own deadlines! On the right: The blissfully ignorant non-technical person with their flower crown of innocence asking if the code looks good, then the DEVASTATING realization that the developer didn't even GLANCE at their precious creation! The betrayal! The drama! The technical debt that's about to be unleashed upon the world because NOBODY HAS TIME TO PROPERLY CODE REVIEW ANYMORE! *faints dramatically*

The evolution of README files is getting out of hand! Starting with the basic README.md for normies, then leveling up to README.txt for the slightly cooler devs. But wait—README.pdf?! That's for those documentation wizards who want their formatting PERFECT. And README.mp4? That's galaxy-brain territory for devs who explain their code with ACTUAL VIDEOS! But the final form—Morse code on a telegraph machine—that's for the absolute legends who communicate in ways even Git can't track! Your commit messages may be bad, but at least you're not sending them via telegraph... yet! 😂

Ah, Git. The tool we all praise in public and curse in private. The first panel is that classic tech presentation where someone's overselling Git with buzzwords like "distributed graph theory tree model" – as if that helps anyone understand it. Then comes the brutal truth bomb: nobody actually understands Git. We just memorize arcane incantations, pray they work, and when they inevitably fail, we resort to the time-honored tradition of nuking the repo and starting fresh. Twenty years in the industry and I still sometimes find myself thinking "git add, git commit, git push" and if that doesn't work... well, there's always rm -rf and clone again. Some tools you use; Git uses you.

The classic "major update" lie we've all fallen for. Marketing announces a groundbreaking version bump, you eagerly check the changelog, and it's literally just "fixed typo in documentation" and "updated dependencies." The cat's shocked face perfectly captures that moment when you realize you waited three weeks for what could've been a git commit message reading "oops lol." The worst part? Someone definitely argued for hours about whether this qualified as a major, minor, or patch version change.

Ah, the classic "we have food at home" meme but for developers! Kid wants professional CI/CD pipelines, mom says no because there's "CI/CD at home" - which turns out to be a janky collection of config files and shell scripts cobbled together by some poor soul who just wanted to automate deployments without learning Jenkins. It's the equivalent of calling a stick tied to a rock "advanced weaponry." That homemade CI/CD solution is one failed deployment away from bringing the entire production environment crashing down faster than a junior dev's confidence during their first code review.

The "asking for a friend" of development. Nothing says "I've already done something catastrophic" like a junior dev casually inquiring about API key removal from git history. That look from the senior dev isn't suspicion—it's the realization that the weekend is now canceled and the entire team is about to learn what a force push really means. Somewhere in the background, the company's security team just felt a disturbance in the force.
