The Bug Genocide Solution

The eternal cycle of software development in its natural habitat. First panel: a giant bug tearfully pleads for mercy as the hotfix hammer descends. "Don't - I have a family!" it cries, as if bugs reproduce through anything other than our terrible coding decisions.

Second panel: Our developer protagonist watches in horror as the squashed bug's relatives gather around its flattened corpse. The guilt! The shame! The realization that killing one bug often reveals its extended family tree!

Final panel: Instead of continuing this cycle of violence, our enlightened dev chooses the nuclear option - complete code refactoring. Because sometimes it's easier to burn everything to the ground and start over than to keep playing whack-a-bug until retirement.
