Just Keep Coding, We'll Fix It Later

8 days ago 158.7K views 0 shares

Construction workers building a completely misaligned brick wall is basically the software development lifecycle in one image. "Just keep coding. We can always fix it later" is the mantra that turns 2-week sprints into 6-month refactoring nightmares. The technical debt pictured here would make even the most optimistic project manager cry. But hey, at least it compiles.

What's Stopping You From Coding Like This

My API keys are now getting more sunshine than I am. Nothing says "senior developer energy" like casually exposing your entire security infrastructure to the local wildlife while pretending you're achieving work-life balance. Those red lines aren't just API keys—they're a speedrun to unemployment. Pro tip: If you're going to commit career suicide, at least do it with a better view than your neighbor's flag.

Git Push --Force And Consequences

That seductive smile when you're about to do something you know is dangerous but you're too deep in technical debt to care anymore. The --force flag is basically Git's way of saying "I'll let you shoot yourself in the foot, but don't come crying to me when your repo is irreparably broken." After your 48,283rd merge conflict, you develop a twisted Stockholm syndrome relationship with destructive Git commands. You're not even afraid anymore - just numb to the consequences of overwriting your colleagues' work.

Git Doesn't Exist In His World

Someone just discovered the ultimate version control system - Microsoft Word! Because who needs Git when you can "automatically save changes you made which you can go back" right? Nothing says "professional developer" like writing code in a word processor and using Ctrl+Z as your rollback strategy. The project owner's face when reading this must have been priceless. "Sorry, our code tracking app won't support... *checks notes*... writing code in Word." Revolutionary idea rejected in record time - marked as "not planned" faster than you can say "merge conflict."

Blame The Client

The AUDACITY of this developer! 💅 First panel shows our precious little API returning a 200 OK response like a perfect angel. Then the EXISTENTIAL CRISIS hits: "Could there be a bug in MY API?" But wait! Why fix your own code when you can just wrap it in a try-catch and throw a 400 Bad Request with the most passive-aggressive message ever? "fix your integration lol" - the digital equivalent of "It's not me, it's DEFINITELY you." The character development from self-doubt to blaming the client is *chef's kiss* - faster than my relationship with debugging sessions!

My Program That Works Perfectly

A building held up by wooden beams labeled "else if" statements. That's your codebase after you decided to handle every edge case with another conditional instead of proper error handling or design patterns. The building hasn't collapsed yet , but we all know it's one more feature request away from catastrophic failure. Just like your sprint deadline.

No More Readable Code

Oh. My. GOD. The absolute audacity of this meme! It's showing the evolution of a programmer's brain from basic sanity to complete chaotic genius. First we have var count = 5 - how pedestrian, how BORING. Then slightly more cryptic with var x = 5 because who needs meaningful variable names? But then! THEN! The brain goes SUPERNOVA with those incomprehensible variables and operations. Single-letter variables? Mathematical operations strung together with no context? No comments? *chef's kiss* PURE EVIL GENIUS. And the final panel? The ULTIMATE power move: "Readable code is for the weak." Because nothing says "I'm the alpha developer" like code that only you can understand. Future you will absolutely HATE current you, but that's a problem for another day!

First frame: "Let's just write some chill code and not worry about security. It's an internal tool anyway." Second frame: *puts on glasses, sees reality clearly* "Holy $#!%, we're basically running an unpatched WordPress site with admin/admin credentials on a public IP." The transition from "vibe coding" to "vulnerability as a service" is the exact moment every project goes from "just ship it" to "we're all going to jail." The glasses represent that brief moment of clarity between deadlines when you realize you've basically built a digital welcome mat for hackers.

The Nuclear Option

The classic Tom and Jerry covering their ears while someone's about to commit a war crime in Git. The git push origin master --force command is the digital equivalent of saying "I reject your reality and substitute my own." It overwrites remote history with whatever local mess you've created, consequences be damned. The kind of command that makes your team's Slack channel suddenly fill with "WHO DID THIS?" messages at 4:32 PM on a Friday.

The real crime scene here is declaring a variable that can be both boolean AND null. This is the kind of code that keeps security professionals awake at night. Some developer thought "hey, why use proper authentication when I can create this beautiful three-state monstrosity?" Triple equals won't save you from the existential crisis this code will cause during code review. This is the programming equivalent of leaving your front door unlocked but also maybe removing it entirely.

Just Make It Exist First, Automate The Horror Later

The two horsemen of software development: hardcoding endless if-statements for every possible value (top) versus generating those same if-statements with a script that alternates between True and False (bottom). That moment when you realize you can write code to write your terrible code for you. Work smarter not harder! Technical debt can now be automated at scale!
