When your actual cat decides to help you debug by pointing at the cat command. The ultimate code review assistant who doesn't judge your terrible bash scripts—just occasionally walks across your keyboard to add random characters as "improvements." Ten years of software engineering and my best technical consultant still has a litterbox.

When your codebase relies on documentation written during the Bush administration. Legolas here perfectly captures that moment when you realize the docs were written by an ancient developer who has long since departed to the Undying Lands (or Google). First panel: "My documentation is old" - You're hopeful it might still be relevant. Second panel: "very old" - Reality sinks in. This predates your programming language's current syntax.

And let's not forget the classic "fix one bug, spawn three more" - nature's way of keeping us humble. The golden age of programming never existed. We just replaced "I don't know how to do this" with "I don't know how to ask AI to do this for me."
