When You Create A GitHub Account Without Knowing GIT

When faced with a tiny 10-line pull request, we're all code review heroes ready to suggest refactoring into separate functions. But show us a 500-line monstrosity and suddenly it's "LGTM" (Looks Good To Me)—the digital equivalent of "I didn't read this but I trust you didn't break production." The cognitive overload is real! Your brain just nopes out after line 47, and honestly, who has time to review someone's entire dissertation on why they needed 12 nested if-statements?

The eternal developer insecurity captured in one GitHub diff stat. Adding nearly 5,000 lines while removing 1,144 and still wondering if your PR is substantial enough. Meanwhile, your code reviewer is silently praying you didn't just paste an entire npm package into the codebase. The green bars say "impressive contribution" but your brain says "what if it's mostly comments and whitespace?" Classic impostor syndrome with a side of version control anxiety.

THE ABSOLUTE BETRAYAL! 😱 Running git blame only to discover YOU were the monster all along! It's that soul-crushing moment when you dramatically unmask the villain responsible for that nightmare bug and—PLOT TWIST—it's just your past self staring back, silently judging your life choices. The digital equivalent of opening the fridge to find someone ate the last slice of pizza, and then remembering it was you at 3 AM. Self-sabotage has never been so perfectly documented!

When Google thinks you're having an existential crisis, but you're just trying to fix your codebase! Merge conflicts—where Git basically says "I have no idea which version of this code to keep, YOU figure it out." Those dreaded red and green highlights that make you question your career choices. Google's algorithm has clearly been trained on developer tears, immediately offering the suicide prevention hotline as if to say, "We know what resolving merge conflicts does to a person's mental state." The psychological stages of a merge conflict: denial, anger, bargaining with git, depression, and finally just force-pushing to main when nobody's looking.

OH. MY. GOD. The ABSOLUTE PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE of code reviews! 💀 You pour your ENTIRE SOUL into a PR, and what do you get? Either a million "Overwhelmingly Positive" comments that make you question if they even READ your code, or that ONE devastating "Not Recommended" with ZERO explanation that haunts you for ETERNITY! And the SILENCE? That's the worst! Like, just TELL ME what's wrong with my beautiful 3 AM creation instead of leaving me to SPIRAL into self-doubt! Is it my variable naming? My architecture? MY ENTIRE CAREER CHOICE?! The duality of feedback is sending me to an early grave, I swear. 🪦

The AUDACITY of junior developers forming their own little code cartel! 💀 Two identical devs with matching fanny packs and questionable haircuts, shaking hands in a secret pact to approve each other's merge requests without adult supervision. It's like watching toddlers decide they can cross the street by themselves because they've successfully put their own shoes on. The codebase is LITERALLY TREMBLING in fear as these two bypass every senior review process with their little "I'll approve yours if you approve mine" scheme. The production environment is one merge away from spontaneous combustion!
