Why spend 10 minutes learning how to resolve a merge conflict when you can spend 3 hours recreating everything from scratch in a shiny new repository? It's the nuclear option of version control, and honestly? Kind of genius in the most chaotic way possible. Git merge conflicts are supposed to be a normal part of collaboration, but let's be real—those conflict markers <<<<<<< HEAD might as well be hieroglyphics when you're staring at them for the first time. So naturally, the only logical solution is to burn it all down and start fresh. Who needs history anyway? Commit messages are overrated! The sheer panic in that reaction shot perfectly captures the moment your senior dev realizes what you just did to six months of carefully maintained Git history. Oops.

Nothing quite captures the developer experience like watching someone sign up for GitHub thinking it's just a place to store code, completely oblivious to the fact that they're about to enter a world of pain. GitHub without Git is like buying a Ferrari without knowing how to drive stick – technically possible, but you're gonna have a bad time. They'll be clicking around the web interface, manually uploading files one by one like it's 2005, wondering why everyone keeps talking about "commits" and "branches" and "merge conflicts." Meanwhile, the rest of us are over here with our terminal windows open, typing cryptic commands we half-understand ourselves, pretending we didn't just Google "how to undo git commit" for the 47th time this month. Give it a week. They'll either learn Git out of sheer necessity or become that person who always asks "can you just push that for me?"
