The Four Horsemen Of Developer Excuses

Ah, the eternal programmer's defense mechanism when confronted with the dreaded "it doesn't work" complaint. The meme perfectly captures the four horsemen of developer excuses:

A) "Somebody must have changed my code" - The classic blame deflection. Because obviously your immaculate code couldn't possibly have bugs.

B) "I haven't touched the code in weeks!" - The temporal defense. If it was working before and you haven't touched it, clearly the bug must have spontaneously generated itself. Quantum computing at its finest.

C) "It worked yesterday" - The mysterious overnight code degradation excuse. As if code has an expiration date like milk.

D) "It works on my machine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" - The ultimate programmer's shrug. Not my problem if your environment can't handle my brilliance.

Meanwhile, the cat's smug expression says it all - we know we're full of it, but we'll never admit that our code might actually be the problem. Time to suggest they restart their computer and pray the problem magically disappears!
