The Three Stages Of Code Resumption

The existential dread of Git merge conflicts perfectly captured! The top panel shows the classic "two buttons" dilemma with "Current Change" (HEAD) and "Incoming Change" (develop branch), while the terminal shows the dreaded merge conflict markers. The bottom panel reveals the true horror—a sweaty developer in full panic mode facing the impossible choice of which code to keep. Nothing turns a confident developer into a nervous wreck faster than those <<<<<<< HEAD markers appearing in your previously pristine codebase. The real skill isn't writing code—it's surviving merge conflicts without having a complete mental breakdown!

Ah, the unmistakable signature of a junior developer's code comments! That stop sign with the helpful clarification "THIS IS A STOP SIGN" perfectly captures the redundant commenting style that senior devs silently judge. It's like writing i++; // increments i by 1 or // The following function calculates the sum right above a function literally named calculateSum() . The code review gods weep silently as another obvious comment gets committed to the repo. Self-documenting code? Never heard of her.

When your junior dev creates a pull request without running tests, fixing linting errors, or even reviewing their own code. Just smashes that green button and expects everyone else to clean up the mess. And the worst part? We've all been that dev at some point. Nothing says "not my problem anymore" like a hastily created PR with the commit message "fix stuff".

The perfect illustration of code documentation in the wild! That empty diagram labeled "How programmers comment their code" is painfully accurate. We all start our projects with grand intentions of detailed comments, then reality hits and suddenly it's just blank spaces and cryptic symbols. The most documented part of any codebase is usually that one function written at 3 AM that no one remembers writing. Future you will definitely understand what that single-letter variable does six months from now, right? Trust me, even senior devs with 15 years of experience are looking at this and nervously laughing while avoiding eye contact with their Git history.

The eternal battle between GUI lovers and command-line purists rages on! The security team is freaking out about GitHub Desktop while the Linux admin (sporting that glorious CLI-worthy mane) is having none of it. It's like bringing a mouse to a keyboard fight. Real devs type commands with their eyes closed while drinking coffee with their third hand. The GUI crowd might as well be using Fisher-Price "My First Computer" while the command-line warriors judge silently from their black terminal screens. The hair length is directly proportional to terminal proficiency. That's just science.

OH MY STARS AND GARTERS! The absolute AUDACITY of pushing untested code to dev at 4:59 PM on a Friday! 💅✨ It's the classic "not my problem until Monday" energy that only the most chaotic developers possess. Like, honey, you're literally creating a weekend emergency while dancing on the grave of your team's sanity! That code is going to break SPECTACULARLY while you're sipping margaritas, and some poor on-call dev will be crying into their keyboard. ICONIC BEHAVIOR. 👑
