Pull request Memes

The eternal dilemma of the open source developer - choosing between social life and that burning desire to fix just one more bug before bed. That pull request isn't going to submit itself! Meanwhile, the GitHub contribution graph waits for no one. The real relationship status? "It's complicated... with my repository." The most committed relationship in his life is the one with his commit history.

First panel: Developers screaming at git rebase like it's some kind of monster. Second panel: Violently attacking it anyway because the team lead said so. Third panel: Reluctantly doing a pull rebase because there's no other choice. Fourth panel: That weird dopamine hit when your commit history is suddenly all clean and linear instead of looking like spaghetti thrown at a wall. Fun fact: The average developer spends 43% of their career avoiding rebases until they finally try it once and become insufferable evangelists about it.

The formal frog has entered a new circle of development hell. That moment when a senior dev slides into your DMs with a "quick question" about your PR, and suddenly you're staring at 13,000 downvotes worth of technical debt that someone wants YOU to fix. The green +2,533 represents the handful of sympathetic souls who understand your pain, completely dwarfed by the red sea of "nope" from everyone who knows better than to touch that radioactive codebase. Welcome to git blame roulette, where the prize is becoming the new owner of legacy code nobody has understood since 2014.

The judgmental stare of an impala when your code looks like a teenager's diary. That moment when you submit a PR with more emojis than actual logic, and the reviewer's soul visibly leaves their body. The code might run, but at what cost to human dignity? Nothing says "I definitely wrote this myself and didn't use AI" like commenting every line with a different animal emoji and explaining obvious functions with "this makes the thing do the thing." The reviewer isn't mad, just disappointed... and questioning their career choices.

The sweet bliss of chaos delegation! Nothing says "not my problem anymore" like pushing an 8000-line code monstrosity to GitHub and immediately entering hibernation mode. Your colleagues will wake up to that absolute unit of a pull request while you're dreaming peacefully, completely disconnected from the impending code review apocalypse. The perfect crime doesn't exi— Meanwhile, when someone else does this to you, it's suddenly a war crime worthy of The Hague. Funny how that works.

The eternal dev team cycle of pain: You fix a bug and submit a PR, then sit there refreshing GitHub like Pablo Escobar waiting for someone—ANYONE—to review your code. Meanwhile, the project manager is wandering around wondering why features are still stuck in QA purgatory. Classic chicken-and-egg problem where nothing moves because everyone's waiting for someone else to do their part first. The circle of software development hell that transcends programming languages and team sizes.

The graph that exposes our dirty little secret. Nothing says "I trust this code completely" like scrolling at Mach 10 through a 10,000-line PR while muttering "yeah, seems fine" under your breath. The curve shoots up exponentially because we all know the unspoken rule: the longer the PR, the less anyone actually reads it. By line 5,000, you're basically just admiring how pretty the syntax highlighting looks while hitting that approve button. For bonus points, drop an "LGTM" comment to prove you definitely, absolutely, 100% read every single line. Trust me, your future self debugging production at 3 AM will be so grateful.

Nothing says "I'm here to help" like a junior dev submitting a PR that rewrites half the codebase before their first cup of office coffee. The message "init cursor" is the digital equivalent of "I fixed it" while the server room is on fire. Those 8,214 new files? Just dependency hell with a bow on top. Senior devs are already updating their resumes.
