The perfect double meaning that unites programmers and healthcare workers! Someone brilliantly compared the zombie-like state of elderly patients being resuscitated only to continue their ceiling-staring existence with the state of modern software. When code flatlines and crashes, we developers perform our own version of CPR - frantically debugging, restarting services, and injecting emergency patches. And for what? So our zombie application can limp along for another deployment cycle before inevitably crashing again. The cherry on top? That deadpan declaration that "CPR is quite literally necromancy." Well, both programmers and doctors are just professional necromancers, desperately reviving things that probably should have been allowed to die with dignity.

The eternal programmer's confession! Writing documentation is like going to the dentist—nobody wants to do it until the pain becomes unbearable. The only time most of us actually document our code is when we've written something so convoluted that even we can't decipher it two days later. It's basically leaving cryptic notes for our future selves who will inevitably curse our past selves. The circle of programming life!

The eternal developer dilemma: ship it broken or fix it properly? The left panel shows the guilt of knowing you've written garbage code. The right panel is that sweet rationalization that kicks in – "It's fine, that feature's buried so deep in the settings menu even QA probably didn't test it." We've all been there. That quick fix at 4:55 PM on Friday that you KNOW will come back to haunt you in six months when someone actually discovers that page. But hey, what's the worst that could happen? (Narrator: The worst did, in fact, happen.)
