Backend engineers getting distracted by shiny machine learning tech while production bugs silently judge them from behind. Tale as old as git. We all swear we'll fix that NullPointerException right after we finish this "quick" TensorFlow tutorial that's only been open in a browser tab for 47 days.

This is the programmer's version of "give a man a fish" that hits way too close to home. Sure, you can hand someone a working program and watch them struggle for 24 hours trying to figure out why the console is spitting out gibberish. But teach them to code? Congratulations, you've just sentenced them to an eternity of Stack Overflow tabs, mysterious semicolon errors, and the existential dread that comes with realizing your code works but you have absolutely no idea why. The best part? We voluntarily sign up for this torture and then have the audacity to call it a "passion." Masochists, the lot of us.

When your senior dev says "just vibed my way through this code" and now you're staring into the abyss of nested if-statements and undocumented functions that somehow work through sheer cosmic luck. The top panel shows the carefree bliss of writing spaghetti code with zero documentation, while the bottom reveals your soul being slowly crushed as you try to understand why there's a random sleep(3000) in the middle of a critical function. Bonus points if the AI-generated code includes comments like "// magic happens here" and "// don't touch this or everything breaks".

The classic "drop the mic and walk away" but with spaghetti code. Nothing says "not my problem anymore" like committing a nested 500-line function with zero comments right before your two weeks notice. Future maintainers will be naming conference talks after this guy: "The Legacy of Chad's Monolith: A Postmortem."

Look at that sleek Lamborghini-bus hybrid monstrosity! The ultimate metaphor for our codebases - fancy StackOverflow snippets bolted onto utilitarian public transportation. Sure, that elegant algorithm you copied might look like a supercar, but it's awkwardly attached to your janky bus of legacy code that somehow still gets passengers from A to B. The real magic? Both parts are the same shade of lime green, suggesting they're totally meant to work together. Spoiler alert: they're not. Yet somehow this architectural abomination still runs in production while your tech debt ticket remains at the bottom of the backlog.
