Ah, the eternal GitHub pronunciation debate has finally been settled by presidential decree! The pixel art podium has spoken: "It's pronounced 'JitHub'." Just imagine all those developers who've been saying "GitHub" with a hard G for years, suddenly questioning their entire existence. Next thing you know, they'll tell us SQL is actually pronounced "squirrel" and Python is "pie-thon." The best part? This is clearly a matter of national security, hence the flags. Nothing says "this pronunciation is non-negotiable" like a pixelated presidential address. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them with my pull requests.

The classic developer miscommunication. Guy thinks they're bonding over lunar events, but she's thinking Java IDE. The real tragedy? He probably spent 20 minutes configuring his astronomy app while she just downloaded Eclipse and it worked first try. Meanwhile, IntelliJ users are watching from a distance, sipping coffee and judging them both.

Ah, the classic corporate brainstorming session where everyone's looking for shortcuts except the one person suggesting the obvious solution. Low-code, AI, buzzwords galore—but nobody wants to hear "just hire someone who knows what they're doing." That dev getting thrown out the window represents every competent engineer watching their company chase shiny tech instead of proper staffing. The real punchline? Six months later they'll hire three devs anyway, but only after burning through the budget on half-baked AI solutions that generated more bugs than features.

The classic "it works on my machine" defense, followed by the inevitable bloodbath when QA gets their hands on it. That moment when your perfectly functioning code suddenly develops sentience and chooses violence the second it touches a tester's machine. No amount of unit tests can prepare you for the mysterious environmental variables on Dave from QA's laptop that somehow still runs Windows Vista "because it's stable."
