BEHOLD! The magnificent tower of horrors that is "stable code"! That rickety structure is hanging on by what can only be described as the digital equivalent of thoughts and prayers. One gentle breeze—or heaven forbid, ONE TINY COMMIT—and the whole catastrophe comes crashing down like my will to live during a merge conflict. The scaffolding of desperation around it is basically the programming equivalent of crossing your fingers while whispering "please work, please work" during deployment. We've all been there, frantically typing "git stash" when someone asks us to fix "just one small bug" in production. DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH IT—it works by pure magic and spite at this point!
