Scrum In Name Only

The ultimate software development lifecycle in one image! What starts as a squashed wasp "integrated into the tracks" transforms into a celebrated feature. This is the perfect metaphor for when you accidentally introduce a bug, can't fix it properly, so you document it as an "intentional feature" in the release notes. The commit message probably read: "Refactored insect integration module, optimized for railway environments." Classic case of "it's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature" taken to a hilariously literal level!

The eternal developer-QA relationship in four panels of pure truth. Devs shouting "It's your job!" while tossing bugs over the wall like they're doing QA a favor. Meanwhile, QA's just trying to get a crumb of appreciation for saving the product from catastrophic failure... again. The best part? Management thinks their salary is compensation enough for the emotional damage. Next sprint planning I'm bringing this as my status update.

The classic product manager paradox in its natural habitat! The top panel shows a flower screaming with intense urgency about deadlines ("IT NEEDS TO BE DONE AS SOON AS A.S.A.P.") while the bottom panel reveals the same flower looking adorably clueless saying "REQUIREMENTS DON'T MAKE SENSE." This is basically every developer's nightmare scenario - being asked to deliver something at warp speed while working with requirements that have the clarity of mud. It's the software development equivalent of "build me a house immediately, but I can't tell you how many rooms, what materials to use, or even if it should have a roof."

The ultimate self-service experience. Nothing quite like the pride of a tester who discovers they can fix their own bugs instead of filing a ticket and waiting six sprints for someone to look at it. That dog walking itself is basically QA saying "Fine, I'll do it myself" after the third time a dev responded with "works on my machine." The circle of software development life.

The perfect explanation of why product managers exist! Developers are compared to wild gremlins who are "overwhelmed, easily distracted, and bite strangers" - basically feral code creatures who need protection from direct client contact. The second comment nails the harsh reality: without that PM barrier, clients would burn out developers faster than a junior dev deletes production data. It's basically developer conservation efforts in the corporate wilderness.

The legendary "one more bug" lie that's older than version control itself. Every developer knows that fixing "just one more bug" is like saying you'll have "just one potato chip." Fast forward 84 years and you're still knee-deep in spaghetti code, wondering where your youth went. The project manager is still optimistically putting "almost done" on the sprint report while the codebase has evolved into its own sentient entity with trust issues.
