You know someone’s toddler took the controls for the platypus design.
“I want a duck…but you can milk it. Poison! Like bad bad sting. BEAAAVER tail.”

Life has convergent evolution. It's like when devs on different branches solve the same problem over and over again without telling anyone else or merging back to main so no one else has to code the same shit over and over again.

To be honest, as someone who only very tangentially works with git – it fucking scares me.

When you add a bunch of libs to the project but only use one function from each.

Evolutionary trees pretty much look like a git tree in a large company: always changing requirements, only patches, rarely less code. It somewhat works and nobody understands why.

I wanted to say that at least the programming language is always the same, but it's at least two.

LOL how about horizontal gene transfer, and Eukaryotes being a merger of Alphaproteobacteria (and cyanobacteria for the photosynthesizing ones) and Asgard Archea.

It's all interconnected, intertwined, nature man! Holobionts and shit.

When I first saw a platypus in person I was amazed by how small they where. They seem bigger in most photos.

When the project contains decades-old legacy code, but it still works in modern environments.

test in production:

welp turns out it actually works fine, suck it losers

you know how all mammals were once fish? Well some of those intermediary species still survive to this day, like the lovable platypus :3 Also marsupials aka pouch things—one of those intermediary steps from layings like fish to incubating them in a placenta.
