When your project manager asks for a demo and you've spent three sprints perfecting the CSS animations while the backend is literally held together by duct tape and prayer. The building looks absolutely pristine from the street view—nice paint job, decent windows, professional facade. Then you walk around back and realize the entire structure is one strong breeze away from becoming a physics lesson. This is every startup's MVP where the frontend devs got a bit too excited with their Tailwind configs and React animations while the backend team is still arguing about whether to use MongoDB or PostgreSQL. The API endpoints? They exist in theory. The database schema? "We'll normalize it later." The authentication system? "Just hardcode an admin token for now." But hey, at least it looks good on the landing page, right? The investors will never scroll down to see the 500 Internal Server Error hiding behind that beautiful gradient button.
