The Bell Curve Of Developer Self-Awareness

bell-curve-memes, imposter-syndrome-memes, developer-skills-memes, programming-knowledge-memes, self-awareness-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The bell curve of developer self-awareness strikes again. On the far left, we have blissfully mediocre developers who know they're mediocre and have made peace with it. In the middle, the anxious majority frantically collecting skills like Pokémon cards because some LinkedIn influencer told them to. And on the far right, the enlightened souls who've mastered enough to realize that "mediocre" is just corporate-speak for "has a life outside of Stack Overflow." The true galaxy brain move is accepting your mediocrity while still getting paid the same as the try-hards.

Ugliest Git History Ever

Junior dev discovers their company actually enforces clean git practices and suddenly realizes they can't just nuke their messy commit history with git push --force anymore. The existential crisis hits different when you realize you'll actually have to learn proper rebasing, squashing, and writing meaningful commit messages instead of your usual "fixed stuff" × 47 commits. For context: --force and --force-with-lease let you overwrite remote history, which is great for cleaning up your own branch but catastrophic on shared branches. Most teams disable this on main branches and PRs to prevent people from rewriting shared history and causing merge chaos. Now our friend here has to actually think about their commits like a professional instead of treating git like a save button in a video game. Welcome to the big leagues, where your commit history is public record and your shame is permanent.

I'm Just A Poor Boy With Spinning Disks

THE ABSOLUTE HORROR of admitting you're still using an HDD in 2023! Everyone GASPS! The room falls SILENT! Your developer friends look at you with such PITY and DISGUST, like you just confessed to coding in Notepad or still using Internet Explorer! DARLING, the loading times! THE LOADING TIMES! How do you even FUNCTION waiting those EXCRUCIATING extra seconds for your IDE to open?! It's basically technological TORTURE at this point! Next thing you'll tell me is that you don't have RGB lighting on your keyboard either! *faints dramatically*
