How To Name Variables (Or How To Destroy A Codebase With One Rebrand)

The perfect documentation of programmer naming hell. When Twitter rebranded to "X," some poor dev somewhere had to refactor thousands of variables from sensible names like "tweet" to... "x"? And what's the verb now? "X-ing"? This is what happens when marketing decisions crash into code bases. Somewhere, a senior developer is drinking straight from the bottle while staring at search-and-replace results that broke 47 unit tests.

Merge Conflicts: The Silent Developer Killer

Google knows what's up. Search for "proper way to commit after merge conflict" and it immediately suggests the Suicide Prevention Lifeline. That's not a bug—it's a feature! Nothing pushes a developer closer to the edge than spending three hours resolving merge conflicts only to have Git scream at you about some invisible whitespace issue. The algorithm has clearly been trained on the tears of developers who've had to manually merge 500 lines of conflicting code at 4:59pm on a Friday. Google's just saving time by cutting out the middle step between "git merge master" and existential despair.
