Branch protection Memes

The security admin proudly sets up branch protection requiring admin approval for all code changes. Meanwhile, the intern is confused about needing a +1 approval while the senior dev is like "lgtm, ship it" despite the code clearly containing an API key hardcoded in plain text with debugging logs printing credentials. Security theater at its finest - the branch is protected but the data sure isn't.

The primal scream of every developer who's ever written "working" code that's held together with duct tape and wishful thinking. That moment when a coworker clones your repo and starts "improving" your carefully crafted spaghetti code is pure terror. Sure, we all know our code is technically garbage—a beautiful dumpster fire of hacks and workarounds—but it's our garbage, dammit! Nothing triggers the territorial developer instinct faster than someone messing with that fragile house of cards you somehow got working at 3AM. Branch protection rules exist for a reason, people!
