Developer workflow Memes

Someone just turned Git into a fandom universe! 😂 This dev brilliantly reimagines version control as fan fiction terminology: repos = "fandoms" - your project's entire universe branches = "AUs" - alternate universes where your code takes different paths commits = "episodes" - each development milestone in your coding saga main = "canon" - the official, accepted storyline of your codebase rebase = "retcon" - retroactively changing history (and causing team drama) merge = "crossover" - when two storylines dramatically come together Next PR meeting: "So we need to crossover this AU with canon after we finish these episodes, but careful not to retcon what the other fandom is doing!"

The GitHub homepage - that magical dashboard you're forced to see before frantically typing "github.com/username/repo" in the URL bar. It's like having a waiting room filled with irrelevant notifications and activity feeds that you'll scroll through exactly once before realizing it's faster to just memorize every repo URL. The red lines crossing out the entire dashboard perfectly capture what every developer does mentally. We've all got our repositories list bookmarked anyway. GitHub could replace their homepage with a single search bar and nobody would even notice for months.

That brief moment of joy when you spot a well-documented PR, only to realize it's from last year and the next one is just as cryptic as ever. The eternal cycle continues. Next year's documentation will be amazing though, right? Narrator: It was not. We all make those New Year's resolutions to document better, but by January 15th we're back to commit messages like "fixed stuff" and PRs with the detailed description of "it works now."

That desperate look when you're silently begging your coworker to review your monolithic PR because you've gone rogue and changed half the codebase in one commit. We all know the best practice is small, incremental changes, but some days you wake up and choose violence. Your team's Slack is suddenly silent, senior devs are "in meetings" all day, and you're left with that 200-file monster that started as "just a quick refactor." Good luck explaining those 8,000 lines of changes in the standup tomorrow!
