The Open Source Entitlement Syndrome

The GitHub portfolio paradox strikes again! What you're seeing is the classic "my GitHub is a disaster" syndrome where developers claim their repos showcase their skills, but the reality is a collection of bizarre, half-finished experiments that make absolutely no sense to anyone else. Those planes are the perfect metaphor - technically they're all aircraft, but some are missing wings, others are just engines, and one appears to be defying the laws of physics entirely. It's like having 47 repos with names like "test-thing2" and "new-project-FINAL-ACTUALLY-FINAL-v3" with exactly one commit from 2019.

Ah, the classic programmer double entendre. What we're looking at is [2b | !2b] followed by "That is the expression." It's Shakespeare's famous "to be or not to be" dilemma rewritten as a bitwise OR operation. The "2b" is hexadecimal (base 16) for 43 in decimal, and the exclamation mark represents logical NOT. So you're literally performing a bitwise OR between "to be" and "not to be" in code. The punchline is the perfect deadpan delivery: "That is the expression." Because, well, it literally is an expression in programming terms. Whoever came up with this probably felt extremely clever while their coworkers groaned audibly.

Ah, the classic frontend-backend integration disaster. Two devs start a project with optimism and clean boundaries, only to end up a month later frantically trying to connect systems that were never designed to talk to each other. It's like watching two people build halves of a bridge from opposite sides of a canyon without ever checking if they're using the same measurements. The result? Electrocution by API incompatibility. The real tragedy is that after seven years in the industry, I still see this happen on almost every project. Communication? Requirements? Shared architecture planning? Nah, we'll just wing it and debug for three weeks straight instead.

Content DO DO THERE IS NO TRY

The ABSOLUTE PEAK of solo developer dignity! 💅 Creating a pull request on your own repository and then dramatically switching hats to approve it yourself is the coding equivalent of giving yourself a medal! It's that special moment when you pretend there's an actual code review happening, but it's just you having a conversation with yourself like some kind of Git schizophrenia. "Hmm, this code looks FABULOUS, darling! Who wrote it? Oh wait—IT WAS ME!" The ceremonial self-merge: simultaneously the most pathetic and most empowering ritual in solo development history!
