GitHub Topics Know Too Much

Description

A dark GitHub-like repository settings UI shows a "Topics (separate with spaces)" field with the user typing "i-ha". The autocomplete suggestions include "i-have-no-idea-what-im-doing", "i-hate-myself-and-i-wanna-die", "i-hate-hw", "i-hate-java", "i-hate-you", "i-hate-bash", "i-hate-css", "i-have-no-clue-why-i-did-this", and "i-have-too-much-time". At the bottom are "Cancel" and green "Save changes" buttons. The joke is that public project tags, meant for discoverability, expose the very real emotional taxonomy of hobby projects, homework repos, and abandoned experiments.
