Don't Hurt Me, I'm The Legacy Code Guy

The calm software engineer enjoying his lunch while chaos erupts in the background is the most accurate depiction of job security I've ever seen. While Jira (blue diamond), XState (X logo), Docker (whale), and Webpack (green logo) battle it out in a JavaScript framework death match, our protagonist knows he's the only one who understands the legacy codebase with 15 years of technical debt. The frameworks come and go, but the engineer who wrote that undocumented spaghetti code that somehow keeps the entire company afloat? Absolutely irreplaceable.

Ah, the sacred trinity of a developer's existence! Rejecting Frontend? Check. Avoiding Backend? Double check. But the Weekend? That's where the real passion lies. Forget your CSS nightmares and database queries—the only end that matters is week end . The perfect punchline to the joke that is our work-life balance. The only deployment we truly look forward to is deploying ourselves onto the couch with zero git commits and 100% relaxation uptime.
