Where's The Exe File?

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 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.

So a tech journalist just suggested that open source should "ban itself" in certain countries based on geopolitics. That's like suggesting gravity should stop working in specific time zones because of trade disputes. The entire point of open source is that the code is, well, open . It's publicly available. You can't "ban" something that's already distributed across millions of repositories, forks, and local machines worldwide. Even if you deleted every GitHub repo tomorrow, the code would still exist on countless hard drives, mirrors, and archive sites. Trying to geofence open source is like trying to un-ring a bell or put toothpaste back in the tube. The MIT license doesn't come with geographical restrictions for a reason. That's literally the opposite of how information distribution works on the internet. But hey, at least we got a solid Boromir meme out of someone's fundamental misunderstanding of software licensing and distribution.

The cosmic horror of being assigned as a code reviewer for a 208-file pull request with +114,948 lines added and -1,130 lines removed. The giant, menacing figure represents the monstrous PR towering over the poor developer who's been summoned to review this abomination. That's not a codebase change—that's a whole new dimension of pain being introduced into your repository! The "And It Is Only Monday" title perfectly captures that sinking feeling when your week starts with what can only be described as a code war crime. Whoever submitted this PR clearly doesn't believe in atomic commits or the concept of human mercy.

The ultimate taboo questions revealed! While society warns against asking women their age or men their salary, the true forbidden knowledge is asking a developer what their cryptic commit messages actually mean. "Fixed stuff" at 3 AM? "Minor tweaks" that rewrote the entire authentication system? That vibe coder with headphones and sunglasses knows exactly what chaos they unleashed with "small refactor" - a complete architectural overhaul that somehow both fixed and created 17 new bugs simultaneously. The git history never lies, but the commit messages absolutely do!

The git diff shows Firefox removing their FAQ answer about not selling personal data. Nothing says "we value privacy" quite like deleting the promise not to sell it! Clearly Firefox decided the best way to compete with Chrome was to speedrun the "Either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain" challenge. That deletion is worth a thousand privacy policies. For those wondering, this is from Firefox's structured-data-firefox-faq.html file where they've removed the entire Q&A about not selling user data. The irony is palpable - they kept the "Why is Firefox so slow?" question though. At least they've got their priorities straight!
