Jira Doing Comedy

The eternal battle between junior devs who've just discovered the latest shiny framework and senior devs who've migrated codebases 17 times in their career. That clenched fist contains the restraint of someone who's spent countless weekends converting perfectly functional apps to whatever Google/Meta abandoned six months later. The SrDev isn't angry, just... tired. They're mentally calculating how many sprints will be wasted rewriting what already works while product features get pushed to "next quarter." That face says "I still have PTSD from our Angular 1 to 2 migration."

The classic "Fast, Good, Cheap: Pick Two" engineering trilemma meets the harsh reality of modern dev life. Except now we've added a fourth option: "Vibe Coding" – where you're just having a good time with your vibrating... code editor. Spoiler alert: that massager isn't fixing your technical debt, but it might help you cope with the existential dread of that legacy codebase you inherited. Management still expects all four options simultaneously, naturally.

The corporate circle of life in its natural habitat! First, management gets excited about AI boosting productivity so they can slash the dev team. Then their faces drop when devs use the same logic against them. "Oh, we need fewer managers now that we have fewer devs? surprised Pikachu face " The beautiful irony of corporate efficiency cuts coming back to bite the very people who initiated them. Turns out the sword of optimization cuts both ways... who knew? 🙃

The natural hierarchy of software development in its native habitat. Junior devs frantically climbing up the project staircase, desperately trying to make sense of the codebase they inherited. The senior dev stands back, knowing exactly which parts will collapse but choosing to watch the learning process unfold. Meanwhile, the Scrum Master casually enjoys his snack, completely oblivious to the impending disaster. He'll just add it as "technical debt" to next sprint's backlog and call it a day. The best part? No one knows who's actually responsible for this architectural nightmare, but the commit history has been carefully scrubbed of all evidence.

The classic vampire/Superman weakness meme but with a coding twist! Vampires cower from sunlight, Superman recoils from kryptonite, and developers? They'll do ANYTHING to avoid writing unit tests. The sheer panic on that developer's face speaks volumes about the universal dread of having to verify your own code actually works as intended. Why spend 20 minutes writing tests when you could spend 8 hours debugging in production instead? Pure engineering efficiency!

Ah, the mythical "intuitive" documentation. Three hours in and you're still trying to decipher what your team lead swore was "well-written." Meanwhile, the deadline approaches and you're stuck in documentation purgatory, wondering if you're just stupid or if the person who wrote this was actively trying to create a puzzle box. The painting perfectly captures that moment of existential developer despair – surrounded by information yet understanding nothing.
