So Who Is Sending Patches Now

6 hours ago 64.1K views 0 shares

Random Twitter user: "Your codebase is a mess." FFmpeg (written in C and assembly): "Talk is cheap, send patches." The ultimate open-source mic drop. Nothing says "put up or shut up" quite like challenging critics to actually contribute to a notoriously complex codebase that even seasoned developers approach with caution. It's the programming equivalent of saying "I'd like to see you try" while sipping tea with your pinky out.

Blameless Does Not Mean Nameless

The office wall of shame has spoken! While Spoingus gets a gold star for reviewing 12 PRs (what a tryhard), poor Bingus has achieved infamy by accidentally taking down Cloudflare. We've all been there – one tiny config change, one misplaced semicolon, and suddenly half the internet is screaming. The best part? Everyone knows exactly who to blame when the status page turns red. Your "blameless postmortem" culture means nothing when your photo is literally pinned to the wall under "Naughty." Career advancement strategy: break stuff so spectacularly they have to promote you to fix it.

The Most Important Issue

When your dating life is so broken you file it as a GitHub issue. Classic developer move—thinking social interactions can be debugged with a pull request. "Women's profiles don't answer when I text them. Please fix this problem." Yeah buddy, that's definitely a code issue and not the fact that your opening line was probably "Hello World" followed by a request for her SQL. The best part? It's issue #412—meaning there were 411 previous complaints about the same "bug." Maybe try catching some social skills instead of exceptions.

Don't Touch My Garbage!

Ah, the duality of open source maintainers. You generously dump your code on GitHub for the world to use, then transform into a territorial feline when someone dares to suggest changes. That angry cat surrounded by watermelons perfectly captures the "it's free but I'll still judge your pull request like you insulted my ancestry" energy. The progression from "here's my gift to humanity" to "your code is trash and so are you" happens faster than a poorly optimized for-loop.

Ain't Nobody Got Time For That

Oh. My. GOD. The eternal struggle between non-technical managers and developers summed up in four glorious panels! 😱 On the left: The developer's face of pure AGONY as they reply "LGTM" (Looks Good To Me) without actually reviewing a SINGLE LINE of code because they're drowning in their own deadlines! On the right: The blissfully ignorant non-technical person with their flower crown of innocence asking if the code looks good, then the DEVASTATING realization that the developer didn't even GLANCE at their precious creation! The betrayal! The drama! The technical debt that's about to be unleashed upon the world because NOBODY HAS TIME TO PROPERLY CODE REVIEW ANYMORE! *faints dramatically*

Git Commit To Love

The only place where "conflict resolution" leads to marriage. Guy meets his wife in a GitHub issue thread—probably while they were viciously arguing over tabs vs. spaces or why someone's PR was "absolute garbage." Then the punchline hits: "glad you found a girl who could commit" and "Glad you two merged" followed by "I'll see myself out." It's beautiful, really. From heated technical debates to holy matrimony. And they say romance is dead? Clearly they haven't experienced the raw passion of a 47-comment thread about missing semicolons.

When Developers Get Naming Rights

Ah, the inevitable collision of serious software development and internet naming conventions. Someone actually suggested naming Git LFS (Large File Storage) as "Filey McFileface" in an official GitHub issue, and it got 170 upvotes! This is peak developer culture—naming critical infrastructure after the infamous "Boaty McBoatface" incident where the internet was asked to name a research vessel. Engineers can't resist an opportunity to inject absurdity into otherwise serious technical discussions. The real miracle is that Git LFS wasn't actually named this. Somewhere, a product manager is still having nightmares about it.

I Know Who Wrote This But I Can't Prove It Yet

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."

Comments On Reddit Vs PR

The AUDACITY of this meme! 💅 Reddit comments are LITERAL NUCLEAR WARFARE—giant monsters destroying cities with their savage hot takes and brutal opinions! Meanwhile, pull requests? PATHETIC! Just two dinosaur costumes politely waving sticks at each other in the snow. "I think maybe we should refactor this function?" "Yes, wonderful suggestion, colleague!" The professional facade we maintain in code reviews while secretly wanting to go full Godzilla on that atrocious nested for-loop is the greatest performance art of our generation!

I Want To Contribute In Your Group Project

That one teammate who shows up at the last minute with a half-baked pull request while everyone else has been pushing the project forward for weeks. The classic "I helped" contribution that somehow makes it into the final demo despite breaking three unit tests. At least they remembered to add their name to the README.md!

When your teammate keeps submitting pull requests that just update the README.md file over and over again. Nothing says "I'm contributing!" quite like seven identical commits that add absolutely nothing of value. Meanwhile, the actual codebase is on fire, but hey, at least the documentation has another typo fixed! The best part? They'll probably list "Git expert" on their resume after this masterclass in version control.

When Your Pull Requests Need Dating Profiles

When Your Pull Requests Need Dating Profiles

Welcome to the Linux kernel's GitHub page, where the pull requests are apparently doubling as Tinder profiles. Nothing says "I understand open source contribution" like announcing your relationship status in a PR title. What's next? "Fixed memory leak, also I do CrossFit"? "Optimized driver code, btw I'm vegan"? "Patched security vulnerability, anyone want to see my cat pics?" And 504 open PRs? Linus must be having an aneurysm somewhere. The only thing getting merged here is desperation with code.
