The classic "it works but I have no idea why" scenario. Your code's like that bird—technically flying, but in the most chaotic, physics-defying way possible. After 15 years of coding, I've learned the sacred rule: when something works through pure accident rather than design, you just back away slowly and leave it alone. Ship it. Document it as "proprietary algorithm" and never speak of it again. The right side is what happens when you try to "clean up" that spaghetti code that was somehow working.
