The Cursor-Based Debugging Method

The Cursor-Based Debugging Method
The greatest lie in modern development: "I think cursor fixed it, can I merge?" Followed by 875 replies of pure chaos as the entire team discovers that moving your cursor around does not, in fact, fix broken code. But hey, at least you've got 4 profile pics to choose from when you're inevitably assigned to fix the production fire that's about to start.

Love It When This Happens

Love It When This Happens
The sweet, sweet dopamine hit of seeing "no conflicts with base branch" is better than any drug on the market. That magical green checkmark means your code won't trigger a three-hour merge nightmare where you question your career choices. Developers spend 90% of their time dreading merge conflicts and 10% celebrating when they don't happen. It's the little things in life - like when Git doesn't make you want to throw your laptop out the window.

Had A Couple Quick Nits

Had A Couple Quick Nits
The eternal saga of code reviews in one Slack message. Dude casually drops "i think cursor fixed it, can i merge?" and gets absolutely 875 replies of people tearing his code apart. That's not a code review—that's a digital intervention! Guarantee those replies are filled with "Actually..." and "Well, technically..." comments dissecting his cursor fix like it's a murder scene. Pro tip: never ask if you can merge unless you're prepared for your colleagues to discover every sin you've committed since learning to code.

The Average Git Rebase Experience

The Average Git Rebase Experience
Starts with a simple rebase. Then you're fixing conflicts with amend and continue. Next thing you know, you're aborting and hard resetting. Finally, you just merge the branch like a defeated circus performer who's dead inside but still has to smile for the audience. The transformation from "I know what I'm doing" to "I have no idea what's happening anymore" is complete.

Who Needs Code Review

Who Needs Code Review
Oh, the absolute chaos of Git operations gone wrong! The meme brilliantly uses airplane imagery to illustrate version control disasters: The first plane represents THE COMMIT - clean, orderly, everything as expected. The second shows THE MERGE - still mostly intact but clearly something's off (just like when you merge branches with minor conflicts). But the third image? That's the nightmare scenario - THE CHANGES TO THE CODE I FORGOT TO STAGE - a crowd of people desperately evacuating what appears to be a doomed flight. That sinking feeling when you realize your critical changes weren't included in your push because you forgot to git add them first. And this, friends, is why we don't bypass code reviews. Your teammates might have noticed those unstaged changes before they became a production emergency!

Me Approving My Own Repo

Me Approving My Own Repo
The ABSOLUTE PEAK of solo developer dignity! 💅 Creating a pull request on your own repository and then dramatically switching hats to approve it yourself is the coding equivalent of giving yourself a medal! It's that special moment when you pretend there's an actual code review happening, but it's just you having a conversation with yourself like some kind of Git schizophrenia. "Hmm, this code looks FABULOUS, darling! Who wrote it? Oh wait—IT WAS ME!" The ceremonial self-merge: simultaneously the most pathetic and most empowering ritual in solo development history!

Fixed Docker Build

Fixed Docker Build
The formal frog is making a grand announcement about the most trivial of victories - a PR that got merged with a single +1 and -0 change. That tiny diff is the programming equivalent of fixing a typo and acting like you've revolutionized the codebase. Docker builds are notoriously finicky, so when you finally get one working by changing literally one character, you absolutely deserve to announce it with the pomp and circumstance of an 18th century aristocrat. The build is fixed! The kingdom is saved! All hail the developer who added that missing semicolon!

Don't Even Test

Don't Even Test
The perfect encapsulation of developer chaos energy. First guy proudly declares "I'm merging it. fuck the tests" with the confidence of someone who's never had to debug a production outage at 2am. Then the follow-up comment claiming test writing is "a sign of weakness" - spoken like someone whose LinkedIn profile probably lists "School of Hard Knocks" as their education. Future them will be frantically typing "how to revert git push force" while their Slack fills with angry messages from coworkers. The bravado of the untested merge is the software equivalent of saying "hold my beer" before attempting a backflip off the roof.

Git Merge Only

Git Merge Only
A street sign that says "NO REBASE" with a symbol prohibiting two cars from being on top of each other. The perfect metaphor for Git workflows where rebasing is forbidden and merging is the only acceptable way to integrate changes. That senior dev who set up the repo rules is probably the same person who put up this sign. Both will fight you to the death if you try to maintain a clean commit history.

Trust The Process (Of Skipping Tests)

Trust The Process (Of Skipping Tests)
The quintessential dev team dynamic captured in its natural habitat. Top dev proudly announces "the energy I bring to the team" while showcasing a comment from a teammate who's bypassing all testing protocols with the battle cry "i'm merging it. f*ck the tests." Meanwhile, the cherry on top comes from someone named "Average Engineer" who declares writing test cases is basically admitting your code might have flaws—a cardinal sin in the church of overconfidence. This is that special moment when the CI/CD pipeline becomes CI/See-No-Evil. Future production issues? That's tomorrow-you's problem! Nothing says "high-performing team" like merging untested code at 11:36 PM and calling it "energy."

Dont Even Test

Dont Even Test
Ah yes, the two types of developers in their natural habitat. One proudly declares "I'm merging it. fuck the tests" with the confidence of someone who's about to create tomorrow's emergency hotfix. Then there's the reply guy claiming "writing testcases for your code is doubting your own coding abilities. it's a sign of weakness." This is the software development equivalent of saying "helmets are for cowards" while riding a motorcycle blindfolded. Future you will be sending past you very strongly worded Slack messages at 2AM when production catches fire.

Your Tech Lead Is Dead

Your Tech Lead Is Dead
The Terminator's code review process is brutally efficient. Junior dev thinks creating a PR means they're done, but they've forgotten the most important part—getting their Tech Lead's approval. And just like the Terminator's cold delivery of bad news, there's no sugar-coating it when your TL has abandoned the project, gone on vacation, or worse... left for another company. Now your code is stuck in PR purgatory, neither alive nor dead, just waiting... forever.
