Future Of Cursor Software Engineers
That's not a white dot, that's Cursor AI sharing your plaintext password file with every hacker on the planet. Nothing says "security professional" like storing credentials in a CSV file named "passwords.csv" and then asking about UI elements while exposing it. Somewhere, a security engineer just felt a disturbance in the force and doesn't know why.

You're Not The First
Ah, the sacred developer initiation ritual! Nothing says "you're one of us now" like that first catastrophic production push. The poor newbie thinks they're about to be fired, but little do they know - breaking production is basically a rite of passage. It's like the developer equivalent of a hazing ceremony, except instead of beer funnels, it's frantic Slack messages and emergency hotfixes at 2AM. The veterans aren't mad - they're proud . That dark cloud of senior devs isn't an execution squad - it's the welcoming committee! Because nothing builds character (and proper deployment procedures) quite like watching your mistake take down an entire website while customers scream. Remember kids: in development, you haven't truly lived until you've died inside after a production disaster!

When You Push Without Add
The Git workflow massacre in three acts: First, we see a majestic Airbus A350 on the runway - that's git commit , your changes safely packaged and ready. Next, the plane gloriously takes flight - git push sending your code to the remote repository. But wait! The punchline: git add is just people climbing stairs to nowhere. Because if you push without adding files first, you're essentially sending an empty plane. Nothing gets deployed except your career prospects. It's the classic "why isn't my code in production?" moment right before the horrifying realization that you've been committing and pushing literal nothingness for the past hour.

The Uncalled Function Mystery
Spent 45 minutes debugging a function that wasn't returning a value, only to realize I never actually called the function in the first place. That moment of realization hits like a ton of bricks—you go from frantically searching for complex bugs to discovering you're the bug. It's like building an entire spaceship and forgetting to press the launch button. The compiler's just sitting there thinking, "I can't believe this human has a CS degree."

You're Not The First: The Production Push Baptism
Ah, the sacred developer initiation ritual! First comes the panic alert: "CODE RED: THE WEBSITE IS DOWN!!" Then the sheepish confession from the newbie who pushed straight to prod. The poor soul apologizes profusely, thinking they've committed the ultimate sin... only to discover it's basically a rite of passage. The veterans aren't mad—they're celebrating . "FINALLY! WELCOME TO THE CLUB!" Because no CI/CD pipeline, code review, or stern warning has ever stopped a determined developer from accidentally nuking production. It's not a matter of if, but when. The only difference between junior and senior devs? Seniors have a better poker face when it happens again.

Cursor F*ck Up My 4 Months Of Works
Ah, the classic "I'll just wing it without version control" tragedy. Four months of work obliterated by a cursor mishap because someone thought Git was just a British insult. This poor soul is basically asking "how do I lock the barn door?" after the horse has not only escaped but taken the entire barn with it. The irony of asking about backups after losing everything is the silent scream every tech lead hears in their nightmares. Pro tip: If your "backup strategy" is crossing your fingers and whispering "please don't break" to your computer, you might want to reconsider your life choices. Or at least install Git.
