When I Git Clone Someone's Repository

That face when the junior dev confidently explains an AI-generated pull request that's 90% hallucinated features and 10% actual code. The smug little smile says it all: "I totally understand what's happening here" while internally panicking about what await Promise.resolve(undefined).then(() => Math.random() > 0.5 ? 'success' : throw new Error('oops')) is supposed to accomplish. The code review is scheduled for 3pm and Stack Overflow is already open in 17 tabs.

The classic "I'll just work on this quick side project" to "oh god what have I done" pipeline. Five hours of Java coding, feeling all proud about your brilliant creation, only to realize you forgot version control. Now you're frantically typing rm *.java followed by git add *.class commands like a madman, trying to salvage what's left of your dignity. The face of pure desperation in that last panel is the universal developer expression for "I've made a terrible mistake." That moment when you realize you've been adding compiled files instead of source code to your repo is the closest programmers get to an out-of-body experience.

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 fossilized remains of a developer who DARED to ask for a code review! ☠️ Honey, some say he submitted his PR during sprint planning and turned into LITERAL DUST while refreshing GitHub notifications. The archaeological evidence suggests he waited through THREE COMPANY RESTRUCTURES and a complete rewrite of the codebase before finally perishing. His last words were reportedly "just a quick review plz" sent via Slack at 4:59pm on a Friday. Tragic, yet completely avoidable if literally ANYONE on his team had bothered to look at his branch. Pour one out for our fallen comrade! 💀

Ah yes, modern gaming in a nutshell! A massive bear labeled "NEW AAA GAMES" requiring a nuclear-powered rig with "RTX 5090, AMD RX 7900, 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD" just to launch the title screen. Meanwhile, the humble wolf "DOOM 1993" runs perfectly on a calculator with "CPU, GPU (OPTIONAL)" specs. The real joke? That GitHub Actions workflow is gonna time out before your AAA game even finishes downloading the shader cache. Meanwhile, DOOM is probably already running on your CI/CD pipeline's error logs.

The moment of horrifying realization when you mock someone else's terrible code only to discover you wrote it six months ago. That slow transition from smug superiority to existential crisis hits differently when Git blame points back at your own username. Nothing quite like the taste of your own spaghetti code to humble you before lunchtime.
