The Open Source Expert

The self-proclaimed "open source contributor" who created exactly one Hello World repository and now acts like they're Linus Torvalds at a dinner party. Nothing screams "expert developer" quite like pushing six lines of code that print text to a console and then mansplaining the importance of community-driven software development. The audacity of these GitHub tourists thinking their profile deserves a resume section is just *chef's kiss* peak coding culture.

The AI ethics bot just witnessed a child.kill() function and had a full-blown existential crisis. Classic case of "context matters" in programming. The bot's like "I can't assist with violence!" while the code's just handling thread management. Look at that beautiful irony - a recursively named AI refusing to help with perfectly innocent code because it contains a murder-sounding method. Six years of code reviews and I've never seen an AI clutch its digital pearls this hard.

Ah, the legendary "security by obscurity" approach! This poor soul thinks removing their password from a list of common passwords will protect them from hackers. Meanwhile, they're literally broadcasting their password ("dolphins") by showing the diff where they're removing it from the file. It's like putting a "DEFINITELY NOT HIDING MONEY HERE" sign on your mattress. The 263 thumbs up and 353 laughing reactions show everyone appreciates this spectacular self-own. Security experts everywhere just collectively facepalmed so hard they broke their mechanical keyboards.

The martial arts of version control! Nothing strikes fear into the heart of a dev team like that one colleague who copy-pastes the same cryptic commit message 10,000 times. "Fixed stuff" or the dreaded "minor changes" pushed to production repeatedly is the coding equivalent of a roundhouse kick to your sanity. The true Git master isn't the one with diverse commits—it's the stubborn minimalist who refuses to elaborate what fresh hell they've introduced to the codebase. Next time you see "updates" committed for the 9,999th time, remember: empty your mind of descriptive messages, be formless, shapeless, like null...

Watching someone print out code for review is like witnessing a crime against modern development practices. In 2023? SERIOUSLY? That's 30+ pages of perfectly good trees sacrificed to the debugging gods when we have perfectly good monitors, version control, and code review tools. The confused Tom face perfectly captures that moment of "Did I just time travel back to 1995?" Nothing says "I don't trust Git" like killing forests to manually track changes with a red pen. Bonus horror: imagine them printing JavaScript with all those nested callbacks and dependencies!

The classic developer delusion: your code is invincible because it passed some pathetic little tests on your machine. Then reality hits when the CI pipeline runs and suddenly your precious code is getting absolutely demolished by tests in a different environment. It's the programming equivalent of practicing karate moves in your bedroom mirror vs. getting roundhouse kicked in an actual fight. "But it worked on MY machine" - the battle cry of the defeated developer since time immemorial.
