The Sacred Art Of Not Breaking Things

The sacred moment when a junior dev somehow fixes a production bug without touching the legacy code that everyone's afraid to modify. Senior devs aren't even mad—they're impressed. That feeling when you solve a problem without creating seven new ones is the closest thing to divinity in software engineering. The "we happy?" question is basically corporate speak for "did you manage not to break our fragile house of cards?"

How Is It Going

The perfect encapsulation of game developer paranoia! When someone asks about their game's progress, they immediately assume the person has heard some terrible news. That nervous smile says it all - "My game is totally fine and definitely not a buggy mess held together by duct tape and prayers! Why? Did GitHub leak my commit messages about the physics engine being 'temporarily' disabled since 2021?" This is the digital equivalent of responding to "How are you?" with "Why? What have people been saying about me?!"
