Got My First Fork Time To Retire So Long Suckers
Every open-source developer the moment someone forks their repo with zero stars. "That's it, I've made it! Someone actually thought my code was worth copying! Time to update the LinkedIn profile to 'Influential Developer' and start charging for consultation." Meanwhile, it was probably just some poor soul who clicked the wrong button or forked it to fix that one glaring typo in the README.

Australia Thinks GitHub Is As Risky For Kids As TikTok
Ah yes, because nothing says "dangerous content for children" quite like merge conflicts and dependency hell. Australian lawmakers apparently think kids are out there getting radicalized by pull requests and forking repos. Next they'll classify Stack Overflow as a gateway drug and ban semicolons as harmful punctuation.

Don't Touch The Sacred Servers
Ah yes, the standard server room warning sign that somehow escalated from "please don't touch" to "we will literally execute you on sight." Nothing says "we value our uptime" quite like threatening capital punishment for approaching the sacred racks. The sysadmin who designed this clearly had one too many incidents of someone unplugging something "just to see what happens." The execution pictogram is a nice touch - much more effective than a boring "authorized personnel only" sign. Because nothing protects your infrastructure like the implied threat of summary execution!

Code Review Comment Gold
Ah, the classic code review escalation pattern. First, a technical question about WSL2. Then a polite explanation. Then suddenly the boss goes full nuclear: "I'm the head of engineering and could fire you" followed by "you'll be terminated and lose your 50K." Nothing says "healthy workplace culture" like threatening someone's career over a Windows Subsystem for Linux test. The corporate equivalent of bringing a flamethrower to a paper airplane fight.
