GitHub Actions Radicalized Me

The duality of developer existence: "These CI checks are required" vs "Fire anyone who bypasses them." Nothing radicalizes a developer faster than watching someone merge code that failed every test while you've been fighting for three days to get your perfectly valid PR to pass that one flaky test. The Kermit meme perfectly captures that moment when you go from "we should follow best practices" to "commit git arson against those who defy the CI gods."

Praying To The CI Gods

The emotional rollercoaster of CI pipeline debugging, captured in git commit history. From the initial "fuck yeah, finally got it!!!" celebration to the soul-crushing "once again" failures, followed by increasingly desperate pleas to the CI gods. The gradual descent from confidence to begging is painfully familiar to anyone who's battled flaky tests. That special moment when you go from "fix: Come on, CI!" to "fix: Getting pretty angry at CI by now..." is when you know you've entered the seventh circle of DevOps hell.

Hope Y'all Are Having A Very Null QA Day

Hope Y'all Are Having A Very Null QA Day
Ah, the classic QA engineer joke that brutally exposes our industry's dirty little secret: we test for edge cases but somehow miss the obvious! The QA engineer methodically tests boundary conditions (0 beers), overflow values (9999999999), negative inputs (-1), and even injects random garbage strings ("ueicbksjdhd") and completely invalid inputs (a lizard?!)—covering every bizarre edge case imaginable. But then fails catastrophically on the most basic real-world scenario: someone asking where the bathroom is. It's painfully accurate because we've all built systems that handle the craziest edge cases while somehow missing the simplest use case that actually matters. The flaming disaster at the end is just *chef's kiss* - the perfect representation of that production outage caused by something so obvious nobody bothered to test it.
