GitHub Actions Radicalized Me

GitHub Actions Radicalized Me
The duality of developer existence: "These CI checks are required" vs "Fire anyone who bypasses them." Nothing radicalizes a developer faster than watching someone merge code that failed every test while you've been fighting for three days to get your perfectly valid PR to pass that one flaky test. The Kermit meme perfectly captures that moment when you go from "we should follow best practices" to "commit git arson against those who defy the CI gods."

C++ Developers Purchasing A Monitor Large Enough To Display All Linker Errors At Once
Ah yes, the eternal C++ linker error saga. That moment when you include one wrong header and suddenly your terminal vomits 500 lines of cryptic template instantiation errors, undefined references, and mangled symbol names that look like someone headbutted the keyboard. The ultrawide monitor isn't for gaming or productivity—it's for seeing the entire stack trace without scrolling. Still won't help you understand why std::vector<std::unique_ptr<YourClass>> is causing 17 different linking errors, but at least you can see them all at once while crying into your coffee.

That special moment when you go from "fix: Come on, CI!" to "fix: Getting pretty angry at CI by now..." is when you know you've entered the seventh circle of DevOps hell.
