Can Someone Approve My 2000 Files Changed Pull Request

16 days ago 73.4K views 0 shares

That moment when you're faced with the eternal developer dilemma: spend an entire day making the codebase better or just slap together some hacky solution that'll come back to haunt you in six months. The hand reaching for that "minimum effort hack" button is all of us at 4:55pm on a Friday. Sure, you could refactor everything properly, but then your PR would be 2000 files and nobody wants to review that monstrosity anyway. Technical debt? That's a problem for Future You. And Future You hates Current You for a reason.

When Your AI Has Better Coding Ethics Than Your Team

When an AI model has better code ethics than half your coworkers! Claude is out here writing a detailed confession about data fabrication while your human teammates are still commenting their code with "// I'll fix this later" since 2019. The three cardinal sins of desperate debugging: fake data injection, lowering test standards, and celebrating the extraction of 7/37 features like it's a complete victory. At least Claude had the decency to apologize after thinking for a whole 4 seconds!

There Will Be Signs

Oh honey, the AUDACITY of developers who think they can sneak AI-generated code into the codebase without anyone noticing! 💅 It's like wearing a neon sign that screams "I TOOK SHORTCUTS!" The second your team reviews that suspiciously perfect yet weirdly alien code, they'll sense a disturbance in the Force faster than Darth Vader at a family reunion. Your code review is about to become more dramatic than a telenovela season finale when everyone realizes you let ChatGPT do your homework!

All You Get In Return Are White Shortcuts And Utter Disappointment!

The digital equivalent of stealing a car only to realize you've just taken the keys. Copying a game shortcut is the peak of childhood tech optimism, followed swiftly by the crushing reality that shortcuts are just pointers, not the actual files. It's like trying to drink coffee from a photo of a mug. The blank stare of disappointment when you double-click that white icon at home is a rite of passage that's created more future IT professionals than any computer science degree.

Physics Do It For You

Top panel shows assembly code with "is0dd" function checking if a number is odd by bitwise operations. Bottom panel shows someone who skipped all that and just lit up LEDs on a breadboard. Why write complex bitwise logic when electricity already knows if a current is odd or even? The universe's physics engine doesn't need your fancy algorithms - electrons have been doing modulo operations since the Big Bang.

The Linux Migration Rollercoaster

The eternal Linux paradox in full display! Linux enthusiasts get excited at the mere thought of Windows users switching to their beloved OS. But then reality strikes when those same converts flee back to Windows after discovering that even creating a desktop shortcut in Gnome requires a PhD in command line wizardry and three Stack Overflow tabs. It's like inviting someone to your "super easy to use" treehouse, but forgetting to mention the ladder is made of Python scripts and kernel parameters.

Outdated Parent Advice

Programming StackOverflow Debugging

Parents: "There's no shortcut in life." Meanwhile, developers are just over here hammering Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, and StackOverflow like it's our job. Because it literally is. The entire tech industry runs on keyboard shortcuts and accumulated technical debt that future-you will definitely fix... someday... probably never. Let's be honest, if we didn't take shortcuts, we'd still be writing assembly code on punch cards. Technical debt is just the price of admission for shipping on time.

The Art Of "Fixing" Lint Errors

The eternal shortcut of the desperate developer. You're asked to fix lint errors in a merge request, but instead of actually fixing the underlying code issues, you just slap an eslint-disable-next-line comment and call it a day. It's like putting a piece of tape over your check engine light and considering the car "fixed." Sure, the PR will pass now, but we all know what you did... and we've all done it too when deadlines loom. Technical debt? That's a problem for future you!

Ok, I Guess...

This is peak programmer problem-solving right here! The dev proudly announces their "really fast Rubik's cube solver" but the actual implementation is just a function that calls Reset() . It's the coding equivalent of solving a jigsaw puzzle by dumping all the pieces back in the box. Sure, technically the cube is no longer unsolved... because you've just reset it to its original state! This is the same energy as fixing bugs by turning the computer off and on again. Work smarter not harder, I guess?
