Deployment Memes

When You Push Without Add

22 hours ago 58.5K views 0 shares

The Git workflow massacre in three acts: First, we see a majestic Airbus A350 on the runway - that's git commit , your changes safely packaged and ready. Next, the plane gloriously takes flight - git push sending your code to the remote repository. But wait! The punchline: git add is just people climbing stairs to nowhere. Because if you push without adding files first, you're essentially sending an empty plane. Nothing gets deployed except your career prospects. It's the classic "why isn't my code in production?" moment right before the horrifying realization that you've been committing and pushing literal nothingness for the past hour.

The Merge Of Mass Destruction

Junior developers pushing code straight to production is the tech equivalent of giving car keys to someone who just got their learner's permit. The terrifying confidence of asking "How much review do I need?" only to immediately decide "None? I merge now. Good luck, everybody else!" perfectly captures that moment when inexperience meets fatal optimism. Senior devs watching this unfold are already updating their resumes while the production server starts smoking. That merge button might as well be labeled "Career Russian Roulette."

That Damned Jenkins Smile

The moment you installed Jenkins, thinking it would make your CI/CD pipeline smoother, but six months later you're knee-deep in YAML hell, debugging cryptic build failures at 2 AM while the smug Jenkins mascot just sits there... smiling . That's not a helpful butler, that's a sadistic taskmaster who convinced you that automation would be "easy." Famous last words before your weekends disappeared forever.

Cloud Bill Goes Brrrrr

Hitting that "deploy to cloud" button feels like a heroic moment until you realize you've just signed up your credit card for an all-you-can-eat buffet where the servers never sleep. Your ancestors watch proudly as you configure auto-scaling without setting budget alerts. That $5/month estimate turns into $500 when your app gets three users and suddenly needs 17 microservices, a managed database, and enough storage to archive the Library of Congress. Future generations will be paying off your Kubernetes cluster long after you're gone.

It Works On My Machine...

Developer: "It works on my machine..." Manager: "Then we'll ship your machine." The punchline? That's literally how containerization was invented. Docker is just your laptop in a trench coat pretending to be a production environment. Now instead of blaming the server, we blame the YAML file. Progress.

Containers Explained: The Shipping Analogy

The perfect visual guide to container technologies that no documentation could ever match: Docker: A single shipping container. Simple, isolated, gets the job done. "It works on my machine" finally became "it works in my container." Docker Compose: Multiple containers stacked together like building blocks. For when your app is too complex for just one container but you still want to pretend everything is under control. Kubernetes: Complete chaos with containers falling off the ship into the ocean. What started as "let's orchestrate our containers" ends with "why is our production environment swimming with the fishes?" The perfect representation of what happens when you try to scale without understanding what you're doing. The accuracy is painful. Four years of computer science education just to end up googling "why is my pod crashing" at 3 AM.

Pipeline Goes Brrr

Ah yes, the developer lifecycle. Start a PR, wait for CI to validate your code, die of old age, become fossilized, and still the pipeline isn't done. The skeleton represents what's left of us after waiting for those 700+ tests to pass just so we can merge a one-line fix that removes a trailing comma. The best part? When it finally finishes, there'll be a merge conflict anyway.

Crawled Through A River Of Shit

The sweet taste of victory after Git warfare. That moment when you've spent 14 hours resolving merge conflicts across 10 branches spanning 3 repositories, each with its own unique naming convention and commit style. Your eyes are bloodshot, you've consumed dangerous amounts of caffeine, and your terminal history is just a long list of increasingly desperate git commands. And yet somehow—against all odds—the build passes, the tests run, and that glorious new version is now live in production. No alarms. No rollbacks. Just sweet, sweet redemption as you emerge from the trenches of version control hell. Time to take a shower. You've earned it.

OH. MY. GOD. That moment when you're mid-champagne celebration and your soul literally LEAVES YOUR BODY because you just remembered you skipped the database backup step! 🥂💀 The project manager is still living in blissful ignorance while you're having an existential crisis behind those ridiculous green sunglasses. Your face says "party" but your brain is screaming "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE WHEN PRODUCTION CRASHES IN 3...2...1..." Nothing says "software development" quite like that stomach-dropping realization that your career is about to implode while everyone else is toasting to your imminent demise!

At This Point Bro Is Just Looking For New Ways To Fail

The classic "I'll fix my broken code by switching to a no-code platform" saga. This guy's app is falling apart because his cursor is apparently sentient and malicious. Instead of learning secure coding practices, he's jumping to Bubble - the equivalent of bringing a Fisher-Price toolset to fix a nuclear reactor. Then when called out, responds with "why aren't you positive?" which is developer-speak for "please validate my terrible decisions." Truly the software development equivalent of trying to put out a fire with gasoline and wondering why everyone's screaming instead of applauding.

That moment when you finally ship the big release and immediately become prisoner to your own code. Your phone won't stop buzzing with production alerts while users discover all the edge cases your tests somehow missed. The team's in chaos, management wants updates, and there you are—staring at your creation with the hollow realization that success and suffering are the same thing in software development.

When I Thought I Was Out, They Pull Me Back In

That beautiful moment when you've closed all your IDE tabs, pushed your commits, and are mentally halfway to happy hour... then your Slack explodes with "Critical update: ALL HANDS ON." The universe has a special talent for waiting until you've mentally checked out before dropping production fires in your lap. It's like the code knows you're smiling and decides "not today, friend." Freedom was so close you could taste it. Now you're being dragged back into the trenches for an emergency that will inevitably be traced back to someone's "minor change" that "shouldn't affect anything."
