Repo management Memes

The ultimate recursive nightmare: adding .gitignore to your .gitignore file. It's like telling your version control "please ignore my instructions to ignore things." Then wondering why your repo is either tracking everything or nothing at all. The digital equivalent of putting a "Do Not Disturb" sign on your "Do Not Disturb" sign.

Regular people worry about ignoring texts and relationships. Developers just want to know which files to add to .gitignore so their repo doesn't get cluttered with garbage. The sweet relief on that dev's face when he discovers he can ignore node_modules instead of pushing 500MB of dependencies to GitHub. Pure bliss. Meanwhile, his relationship status remains "it's complicated with package-lock.json."
