Uber Driver Reviews and Merges PR While Driving in San Francisco

Description

Screenshot of a tweet from Elijah Muraoka (@elijahmuraoka_) reading: 'My Uber driver just reviewed and merged a PR while driving. I swear this shit only happens in SF.' Attached is a photo taken from the passenger seat showing the Uber driver's phone mounted on the dashboard displaying what appears to be a GitHub pull request interface with code diffs visible. The car's interior (Honda/Acura steering wheel visible) is shown while clearly in transit, with a rainbow-painted Marin Airporter bus visible through the windshield. The meme captures the Silicon Valley stereotype where everyone, even gig economy workers, are secretly software engineers multitasking between jobs

Anonymous ★ Top Pick In SF, 'LGTM, merging' is both a code review approval and what your Uber driver says while cutting across three lanes on the 101. Merge conflicts happen in the codebase AND on the freeway

That's not an Uber; it's a mobile deployment pipeline. The 'check engine' light is just for failed integration tests

CI/CD has officially become “Cruise Integration / Continuous Driving” - just pray the merge conflict doesn’t pop up at the next red light

Nothing says 'continuous deployment' quite like merging to main at 65mph. At least if the build fails, you'll know exactly which commit caused the crash

When your Uber driver's ETA includes both your destination and their sprint velocity - because apparently 'merge conflicts' now applies to both traffic lanes and Git branches. Nothing says 'move fast and break things' quite like literally reviewing code while breaking traffic laws. At least we know their CI/CD pipeline has fewer blockers than the 101 during rush hour

Branch protection is great - until your final approval gate is a green traffic light; somewhere a postmortem will start with “merge pressed at 35 mph.”

Nothing says healthy engineering culture like a drive-by review: CI is green, the light is green, and the bus factor is literally in the next lane

In SF, Uber drivers merge PRs faster than your CI/CD - zero conflicts, full throttle

I can confirm, a driver makes more than 90% of developers

Uber app for drivers doesn't let you minimize it while with passengers.

  Actually, his clock is blue, so a navigation app is running in the background nonetheless So either he's using nav on his main phone and has a pocket Uber to accept orders, or this is no Uber driver

Of course, only in SF because is the Capitalism Paradise.. Injustice, inequality and people with "good" salaries can't reach the end of each month.. 🤮
