The image shows an empty or barely visible diagram of what appears to be some kind of device interface with the title "How programmers comment their code". It's the perfect representation of that code you inherited with exactly zero helpful comments. You know, the 10,000-line monstrosity where the only comment is // TODO: fix this later from 2014.

Welcome to software development, where "just a small fix" is the biggest lie since "the code is self-documenting."
