When Politics Tries To Git Involved

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute BETRAYAL of finding a note from past-you telling present-you to fix something "at your earliest convenience" like past-you was some kind of RESPONSIBLE ADULT?! 😱 The AUDACITY of your former self to delegate tasks to future-you while having NO IDEA what kind of hellscape future-you would be living in! And then having the NERVE to sign it like you're two different people?! Past-you is ALWAYS leaving landmines of unfinished work that present-you has to deal with. The cycle of self-sabotage continues until we're all just screaming into the void of our own technical debt! Somewhere, a git blame command is just waiting to expose your shame!

The duality of modern developers: initially impressed by shiny new AI features, followed immediately by the desperate search for the "off" button. GitHub Copilot might finish your code, but it also finishes your patience when it confidently suggests the wrong solution for the fifth time in a row. The real 10x developer move isn't using AI—it's knowing exactly when to turn it off.

The perfect encapsulation of developer chaos energy. First guy proudly declares "I'm merging it. fuck the tests" with the confidence of someone who's never had to debug a production outage at 2am. Then the follow-up comment claiming test writing is "a sign of weakness" - spoken like someone whose LinkedIn profile probably lists "School of Hard Knocks" as their education. Future them will be frantically typing "how to revert git push force" while their Slack fills with angry messages from coworkers. The bravado of the untested merge is the software equivalent of saying "hold my beer" before attempting a backflip off the roof.

Code reviewers frantically protecting the codebase from "obvious bugs that will take down prod" while completely ignoring the harmless typo in a comment that someone pointed out. Priorities, right? The tiger (production-breaking bug) is literally stalking in the background while everyone's laser-focused on the innocent bunny (typo). Meanwhile, the actual critical issue is about to pounce and destroy everything. Classic engineering team dynamics where we'll spend 45 minutes debating variable naming conventions while the server is actively on fire.

That feeling when your pull request finally gets approved after 47 code reviews, 18 requested changes, and 3 weeks of waiting... You're not just a developer anymore—you're royalty . Sitting on that throne of merged code, looking slightly uncomfortable because deep down you know your hastily added console.log() statements are still in there. The kingdom is yours until QA finds that edge case you totally forgot to test.

The EVOLUTION of code sharing, darlings! 💅 GitHub? Boring. Google Drive? Pedestrian. Taking a PICTURE of your code? Slightly unhinged. But reading your code out loud and publishing it as an AUDIOBOOK ON AMAZON? That's not just galaxy brain—that's the ENTIRE COSMOS BRAIN! Imagine some poor soul listening to eight hours of "for loop open bracket variable i equals zero semicolon i less than array dot length semicolon i plus plus close bracket" while stuck in traffic. PURE. EVIL. GENIUS. 🎧
