Peak Of Mount Stupid

The graph perfectly captures the infamous "Dunning-Kruger effect" in tech mentorship. That poor intern is stuck at the peak of "Mount Stupid" - where knowing just enough HTML and a for-loop has them convinced they're ready to rewrite the company codebase in Rust. Meanwhile, their actual skills are hovering somewhere between "can center a div" and "accidentally deleted production database." The real tragedy? We've all been that intern, strutting around with confidence inversely proportional to our knowledge, until reality hits like a merge conflict in a monorepo. The graph doesn't show the inevitable next phase: crying in the server room while questioning every career choice.

All My Repos Are Public As Well

Ah, the glorious transformation that happens when your pull request finally gets merged! You start as a nervous junior dev in a plain suit, questioning your life choices and code quality. Then BAM—suddenly you're royalty, adorned with medals of honor and sitting on the throne of Git superiority. The best part? That awkward moment when you submit a PR at 11:59 PM with 17 commented-out debug statements and a commit message that just says "fix stuff" – and somehow it still gets approved. Instant transformation from peasant to king of the codebase! And yes, all my repos are public too... which means everyone can witness both my moments of coding brilliance and the absolute dumpster fires I create before the PR gets polished. It's like having your teenage photos permanently displayed in Times Square.
