Ah, the classic tech job descent into madness. First day: bright-eyed optimism. Then reality hits—"documentation? Just read the code." And what beautiful code it is—zero comments, variables named "tmp", "str", and "obj", all crammed into 2000-line monoliths written by developers who apparently believed typing out full variable names would summon ancient demons. It's like trying to decipher hieroglyphics, except the ancient Egyptians probably had better documentation standards.

Entering ancient legacy code is like spelunking into a forgotten tomb. You're SpongeBob, nervously peeking into a dark, rusty corridor of code written by someone who probably left the company five jobs ago. The comments (if any) might as well be hieroglyphics, and the dependencies are so old they're practically fossilized. You know the second you touch anything, the whole structure might collapse. But hey, the ticket says "minor update" so... good luck, brave explorer! Just remember to bring a flashlight and version control.
