When You Measure Success By Lines Of Code

Measuring developer productivity by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight. The irony here is delicious – the engineers who write the most elegant, efficient code that handles critical infrastructure like security and performance probably wrote the fewest lines. Good security code is minimal and precise. Meanwhile, the person who copy-pasted 10,000 lines from Stack Overflow to make a button slightly rounder just got promoted to Chief Engineer. The tech industry's equivalent of promoting surgeons based on how many incisions they make rather than how many patients survive.

The Two Types Of Git Commit Criminals

OH. MY. GOD. The duality of developers is SENDING ME! 😂 On the left: The chaotic evil developer who nukes the entire codebase with 430 files changed, adds 203,542 lines, deletes 158,119 more, and has the AUDACITY to simply write "fixes" in the patch notes. Like, honey, that's not a patch, that's a whole new universe you just created! On the right: The minimalist zen master who changes ONE single file, adds ONE line, removes ONE line, and then leaves absolutely BLANK patch notes like they're too good to explain their divine intervention. THE DRAMA! I'm definitely the one on the left, causing absolute chaos and then summarizing my 3-day coding bender with "minor tweaks" 💅

Medieval Tech Influencers Just Dropped

Medieval tech bros would've been insufferable. "Just discovered this revolutionary 10x scaling solution called 'printing' that eliminates manual copying. Disrupting the entire monk industry! 🚀 First adopters will dominate since 95% of the target market is illiterate anyway. Classic network effect play. The painful irony is that today's tech influencers haven't evolved much from their 1450s counterparts - still hyping up obvious innovations with manufactured urgency while completely missing their own anachronisms. "We are SO early" has been the battle cry of overconfident tech evangelists for nearly 600 years.
