I Am Once Again Asking For Documentation

legacy-code-memes, documentation-memes, technical-debt-memes, code-maintenance-memes, inheritance-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

When you inherit a codebase with zero documentation and the original developers have all left the company. The desperate hunt begins! You're not just looking for answers—you're on a full-blown archaeological expedition through commit histories and cryptic variable names. "What does fetchRustySpoon() even do and why does the entire payment system depend on it?!" The best part? Management expects you to add new features while you're still trying to figure out why everything is held together with duct tape and prayers.

It must be a hardware problem. 15. What did you type in wrong to get it to crash? 14. There has to be something funky in your data 13. I haven't touched that module in weeks! 12. You must have the wrong version. 11. It's just some unlucky coincidence. 10. I can't test everything! 9. THIS can't be the source of THAT. 8. It works, but it hasn't been tested. 7. Somebody must have changed my code. 6. Did you check for a virus on your system? 5. Even though it doesn't work, how does it feel? 4. You can't use that version on your system. 3. Why do you want to do it that way? 2. Where were you when the program blew up? 1. It works on my machine.

The Infinite Milk Loop

The infinite loop of a programmer's brain in action! When the wife said "while you're out, buy some milk," our poor dev interpreted it as a while condition - literally "while (youAreOut) { buyMilk(); }" Since he never returned home, he never stopped being "out," so the condition never evaluated to false. Now he's trapped forever in the milk-buying loop, probably debating whether to optimize his route or refactor the entire grocery store's layout.
