Seems Pretty Convincing
When your Discord account gets "hacked" and suddenly starts sending very legitimate messages. The classic social engineering tactic where someone impersonates a trusted figure (in this case Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto) to manipulate you into financial decisions. Sure, I always take my purchasing advice from chat messages that contradict themselves within seconds. "Stop looking at sales... actually, pay full price!" Brilliant strategy there, totally-real-Miyamoto. Next they'll be asking for my credit card details to verify my Nintendo Loyalty Program membership.

Unverified Git User But Still Works
Prison interrogation scene but make it Git security theater! The tiny dev confesses to replacing Latin letters with Cyrillic lookalikes to bypass Git commit verification and push code using their boss's identity. It's that classic security exploit where "paypal.com" and "pаypal.com" look identical but the second one has a Cyrillic 'а'. The perfect crime for when you need to blame production bugs on someone with a corner office. Commit signature verification? More like commit signature suggestion .

Git Push: Identity Theft Edition
OH. MY. GOD. The absolute HORROR of what this junior dev just confessed! 😱 Changing your Git config to impersonate your senior devs and then pushing a bug to production?! That's not just coding crime—that's a full-blown IDENTITY THEFT CATASTROPHE! This poor soul thought they were just being clever, but they've basically committed the developer equivalent of framing someone for MURDER. The senior dev's face says it all—pure existential panic because guess who's getting blamed when everything crashes and burns? NOT THE INNOCENT-LOOKING CULPRIT! This is why we can't have nice things in software development. Trust? DESTROYED. Career? POSSIBLY OVER. Code review processes? CLEARLY NONEXISTENT!
