Government agencies finally entering the digital age but making the worst possible tech choices? *Chef's kiss* Nothing says "we hired consultants from 2003" quite like rejecting clean, lightweight JSON in favor of bloated XML files that require a PhD to parse. The kind of decision that makes developers contemplate career changes to literally anything else. Fun fact: Some government systems still use COBOL, a language older than the moon landing. At this rate, they'll discover JSON around the same time we colonize Mars.

The five stages of grief, git edition. Starts with "Fixed bug" (4 files changed, clearly overthinking it). Then "Actually fixed bug" (2 files, getting more confident). By commit three it's "Fixed bug frfr no cap" because apparently we're peer-pressuring ourselves into believing our own lies. Then comes the manic "BUG FIXED!!!!" with just 1 file—either genius-level simplicity or complete delusion. Final commit: "it was not" (2 files). The makeup gets progressively more unhinged, which tracks perfectly with the mental state of someone who's been staring at the same bug for six hours. We've all been there. Ship it anyway.

The perfect metaphor for the Vim user in every dev team. While everyone else is silently mourning the death of simplicity in text editors, that one developer just has to announce their undying loyalty to Vim. It's like a funeral for normal editing workflows, and the Vim enthusiast still can't resist the urge to tell everyone about their 47 custom keybindings and how they can delete a word with "diw" faster than you can reach for your mouse. The coffin might as well contain the remains of productive team discussions that don't devolve into editor wars.
