Self-approval Memes

The ABSOLUTE PEAK of solo developer dignity! 💅 Creating a pull request on your own repository and then dramatically switching hats to approve it yourself is the coding equivalent of giving yourself a medal! It's that special moment when you pretend there's an actual code review happening, but it's just you having a conversation with yourself like some kind of Git schizophrenia. "Hmm, this code looks FABULOUS, darling! Who wrote it? Oh wait—IT WAS ME!" The ceremonial self-merge: simultaneously the most pathetic and most empowering ritual in solo development history!

Ah, the classic one-person development team. James Pearce here is playing 4D chess with version control - creating the PR, assigning himself as the reviewer, approving his own work, and then merging it. Who needs code reviews when you're both judge and jury? This is basically the corporate equivalent of marking your own homework, except somehow it's completely acceptable in certain "agile" environments. The circle of trust is just... a dot.

The ultimate power trip isn't becoming CEO—it's being the sole developer on your own repository. Nothing quite matches the thrill of creating a pull request, switching accounts, and giving yourself a glowing review before smashing that merge button. "Excellent code, me. Very clean implementation." Who needs code reviews when you can have a meaningful conversation with yourself? It's basically the software development equivalent of giving yourself a medal... while nobody's watching.
