I'm Not Exaggerating

The eternal work ethic of software engineers—where even mortality is evaluated through the lens of optimizing PTO. Nothing says "dedicated professional" quite like hoping your demise conveniently falls before the morning standup. The true sign of a seasoned dev isn't elegant code or clever algorithms—it's calculating how to maximize the efficiency of your own death to avoid wasting a perfectly good sick day. Because heaven forbid you die at 5:01 PM after already putting in a full day of debugging someone else's spaghetti code.

Every junior dev thinks they've invented encryption when they discover Base64. The number of times I've had to explain that encoding ≠ encryption is probably why my hair's thinning. Base64 is just fancy dress for your data – anyone can undress it with zero effort. It's like hiding your house key under the doormat and calling it a security system. And the response is always the same: "Fine! I'll just use Base128 then!" Sure buddy, throw more digits at the problem. That'll fix it. Just like how writing your password in bigger letters makes it more secure.

This meme perfectly captures the chaos that ensues when multiple developers work on the same codebase over time without proper coordination! The building in the image is a perfect metaphor for legacy code that has been modified by different developers with different styles and approaches. Each window and architectural element represents a different developer's contribution - completely mismatched, with no consistent design pattern or structure. Just like in software development, you can see how each "feature" (window, balcony, door) was added without considering how it fits with the overall architecture. Some windows are rectangular, others are angled oddly, and there's even what looks like a curved section that makes no sense with the rest of the design. This is exactly what happens when developers inherit code, make quick fixes without understanding the original design, or when there's no code review process. Each developer adds their own "solution" that works for their immediate need without considering the overall structure. The title "When Multiple Devs Have Worked On One Project Over The Years" is spot on - this is the visual representation of technical debt and what happens when documentation is poor and knowledge transfer between team members fails. It's the perfect representation of that codebase everyone's afraid to touch because "it works, but nobody knows how or why."
