Ah, the classic "MVP" that management is so proud of. Two bikes duct-taped together with all the structural integrity of a house of cards built during an earthquake. The backend developer's purple bike looks somewhat functional but outdated, while the frontend is a flashy green monstrosity that barely connects to anything. And that REST API in the middle? Just plastic wrap and prayers holding the entire architecture together. Yet somehow this contraption is deemed "production ready" by people who've never written a line of code. This is what happens when the deadline was "yesterday" and the budget was "whatever's in the vending machine."

The perfect representation of web development anatomy! Frontend gets the fancy Batman face with perfect jawline and features because that's what users actually see. Meanwhile, backend is just the hollow mask and that... whatever that thing is on the right. You know, the part that actually makes everything work but looks like it was assembled during a power outage by someone wearing oven mitts. Classic case of "pretty on the outside, nightmare fuel on the inside" - just like most web apps when you peek behind the curtain!
