My Poor, Poor Upgrade Path…

Ah yes, the mythical "100% test coverage" – the armor that shatters the moment a user types "🔥💩👻" where their name should be. Six months of unit tests, integration tests, and regression tests, yet somehow nobody thought to validate against the ancient enemy: Unicode. The knight's confidence in the first panel is every dev right before deployment. The arrow in the second panel is every production bug that makes you question your career choices. No amount of TDD can save you from the creativity of users with emoji keyboards.

The eternal irony of "antivirus" software that behaves suspiciously like the very thing it's supposed to protect you from. McAfee and Norton have evolved from useful security tools into resource-hogging subscription services that bombard you with popup notifications while slowing your system to a crawl. The "Change My Mind" meme format perfectly captures the hill many developers and IT professionals are willing to die on. And honestly, who hasn't experienced that moment when your CPU usage spikes to 99% because Norton decided NOW was the perfect time for a "quick scan"? The real malware was inside your computer all along—you just paid for it voluntarily.

This developer just casually created an "app skeleton" with 3,163 files changed and +637,124 lines of code in a SINGLE commit. That's not a skeleton—that's an entire digital cemetery! When most of us create a "skeleton app," we mean a few files and basic structure. This person apparently thinks "skeleton" means "fully formed creature with organs, skin, and probably its own consciousness." The PR is even marked "Ready to merge" with no reviews requested. Bold strategy—let's see if anyone survives the code review!
