The More You Know
When artists romanticize their creative process with "you inspired this masterpiece," developers immortalize their crushes in the most practical way possible: branch names. Nothing says "I'm thinking about you" quite like typing git checkout feature/sarah-login-fix forty times a day. The real power move? When that branch gets merged into main and becomes part of the production codebase forever. Your crush's name is now in the git history for eternity, timestamped and commit-hashed. Way more permanent than a song that might get lost in someone's Spotify library. And that Reddit comment warning about Rebecca Purple? Yeah, that's a real CSS color ( #663399 ) named after Rebecca Alison Meyer, daughter of CSS expert Eric Meyer, who passed away at age six. So naming conventions can get... unexpectedly emotional. Maybe stick to feature names instead.

Ah, the emotional hierarchy of suffering! Girls cried over Titanic, boys over Fast & Furious, but web developers? They shed tears over the unholy hex code #663399 aka "Rebecca Purple." For the uninitiated, Rebecca Purple was named in memory of Eric Meyer's daughter and became an official CSS color. But any frontend dev who's spent hours trying to match a designer's exact shade of purple, only to discover it's off by one hex value in production, knows true pain. Nothing says "existential crisis" like debugging a CSS color inconsistency across browsers at 3am while questioning every career choice that led to this moment.
