When I Git Clone Someone's Repository

The eternal dance of code reviews, beautifully captured in its natural habitat. Reviewer drops a last-minute bombshell requirement that wasn't in any spec. Developer responds with the most honest code documentation ever written—and somehow still gets those sweet, sweet approvals. The best part? It got merged anyway! Nothing says "professional software development" quite like telling your reviewer where to shove their Assembly support and then pushing to master anyway. The 8 likes are from other developers who've been there but never had the courage.

The eternal cycle of developer enthusiasm. Top frame: joyfully playing with the shiny new project while completely ignoring last week's project drowning right next to you. Bottom frame: your GitHub graveyard—a haunting underwater boneyard of abandoned repositories that will never see a commit again. The real horror isn't the code quality; it's the commitment issues.

The sheer horror on that Klingon's face perfectly captures the existential dread of realizing you've made 500 commits with messages like "fix stuff," "it works now," and "please work this time." Meanwhile, the other alien is just casually smoking through it all, representing that one senior dev who's seen enough Git disasters to become completely numb. First-time Git users start with such optimism until they discover merge conflicts exist and suddenly they're contemplating a career change to something less traumatic... like bomb disposal.

The unholy trinity of "rapid development" is on full display! The tweet claims Git, JavaScript, and Microsoft BASIC were all created in under a week—which is hilariously wrong and the perfect setup for the three-headed dragon meme below. Two fierce dragon heads represent Git and BASIC—powerful tools that required significant development time. But that third head? JavaScript with its derpy eyes and tongue sticking out perfectly captures how JS was indeed cobbled together in 10 days by Brendan Eich in 1995. Fun fact: Linus Torvalds spent months creating Git after the BitKeeper controversy, and BASIC took significant development at Microsoft. Meanwhile, JavaScript—despite being slapped together in a mad rush to compete with Java—somehow powers most of the modern web. Proof that sometimes the derpy dragon wins!

OH MY GOD, the AUDACITY of junior devs who write such catastrophic code that it summons the ancient one from their cave! 💀 Your pull request is so spectacularly broken that the senior dev—who was PERFECTLY CONTENT ignoring your existence—now has to descend from Mount Olympus to fix your disaster. Congratulations! You've created such a magnificent dumpster fire that even the mythical being who hasn't looked at production code in 3 years has to put down their coffee and save humanity from your keyboard crimes!

The absolute DARK ARTISTRY of software releases! Top image: developer frantically dancing around with an empty "What's New in This Version?" box because WHO HAS TIME to document changes when there are 47 espressos in your system?! Bottom image: the universal developer cop-out - "Misc fixes and improvements" - the magical phrase that could mean ANYTHING from "we fixed that one pixel that was 0.002mm off center" to "we completely rewrote the entire codebase but don't want to admit it." Product managers HATE this one simple trick! The perfect crime that absolutely no one can question because what are they gonna do? READ THE CODE?!
