The Jenga tower of modern software development! A goat somehow balancing on a precarious stack of random objects is the perfect metaphor for production code. At the bottom, there's Google—the foundation of all knowledge. Then StackOverflow—because who actually knows how to code without copy-pasting? Next comes "Indian guy on YouTube" who explains in 5 minutes what your CS degree couldn't in 4 years. Old repositories contribute their legacy spaghetti, and finally, pure dumb luck holds it all together. Meanwhile, the bewildered development team stands by wondering how this monstrosity hasn't collapsed yet. Spoiler alert: nobody knows. It just works until it doesn't.

Content Every company legacy code: Perpetual stew is a stew containing whatever is on hand and added to as needed. Constantly kept above the "danger zone", it can be in the same pot for years if always above 140f, creating a perpetual cycle of adding and removing from it. It was often a staple of medieval inn meals. KAPWING

The duality of API testing tools is just *chef's kiss*. While normal developers see Postman as a simple wrench to fix API requests, Postman sees itself as the Apple of testing tools – complete with grandiose keynotes and revolutionary features nobody asked for. What started as a humble Chrome extension has evolved into a bloated ecosystem that requires 16GB of RAM just to send a GET request. Meanwhile, developers just want to check if their endpoint returns a 200 OK without having to join a cult. The irony? We're all still using it while complaining about it. Stockholm syndrome for developers.

Oh, the beautiful irony of a developer who couldn't grasp data structures opening a café where he served customers in a stack instead of a queue! Poor guy never understood FIFO in code or coffee. The punchline is just *chef's kiss* - serving the last person first is basically implementing a stack when customers expect a queue. Some debugging skills would've helped him realize why everyone was rage-quitting his café before the second cup was even poured.

Oh. My. GOD! The absolute TRAGEDY of tech interviews in 2023! 😱 There's this poor soul having an existential crisis trying to solve some ridiculous algorithm that probably involves reversing a binary tree while standing on one foot... meanwhile, the interviewer is just a clueless doggo who Googled "hard coding questions" five minutes before the interview and has NO IDEA what the solution even is! The sheer AUDACITY! It's like being judged on your cooking skills by someone who can't even boil water but somehow memorized Gordon Ramsay's recipe book! The tech industry has truly reached its final form - where we're all just pretending to know things while secretly panicking inside. Chess metaphor is *chef's kiss* because both players are absolutely CLUELESS about their next move!
