Barbie tries to send her patches upstream, but they insist on a pull-request workflow. "Why!" cries Barbie. "Gerrit is so much better!" Skipper sighs. "Not this again..." "Pull requests are so inefficient!" "Barbie, nobody cares." "Do they even want my patches? Because that's how you don't get my patches!" "Have some orange juice." "I just feel like we'll never get to anything approximating human civilization, when I see this kind of thing, you know?" "You just gotta except it. People like that octopus cat thing." "Don't get me started on the centralization of a service that was supposed to be inherently decentralized! Why even use git, if you're going to treat it like subversion anyway!" "Barbie, you can't change it, drink some orange juice and go chill in the dreamhouse." "I'm *Barbie*! You can't expect me to accept the ugliness of this world!" "That's it, no orange juice for you."

"It will go faster if Brian and I help," offers Steven. "We installed antivirus software on the library computers last week. We'll have to add an exception for your CD-ROM." "Will you now?" Barbie laughed. She began furiously typing on the keyboard. Steven and Brian looked on in awe as Barbie authored a zero-day privilege escalation, deleted the antivirus software and inserted her CD-ROM. "Empire - 319 modules loaded", the screen read. Barbie chuckled. "Sounds like I don't need either of you".
