Code cleanup Memes

That moment when a junior dev proudly announces they've "cleaned up" the codebase by removing "unused" functions, and suddenly the entire production environment collapses like a tree cut from its support. The code wasn't commented because the senior who wrote it was too busy putting out other fires to document why that "useless" function was actually holding up the entire architecture. Five minutes before the demo, everyone's frantically digging through Git history trying to figure out what the hell that Pink Panther function actually did.

The AUDACITY of this man declaring he'll remove 1.8 MILLION lines of spaghetti code like he's some divine code savior! 💀 Listen, honey, that legacy codebase has survived THREE team leads, FOURTEEN coffee machines, and approximately NINE THOUSAND deployments. It's not code at this point—it's an archaeological treasure that belongs in a museum! The new guy swaggering in with his refactoring dreams is about to learn that those tangled monstrosities are load-bearing nightmares holding the entire system together by sheer willpower and duct tape. Good luck explaining to clients why their precious features suddenly "took a vacation" because you thought you understood what that 2013 uncommented function was doing!

The Pink Panther chopping down the entire tree trunk instead of just the branch holding the axe - that's junior developers in a nutshell. "I'll just refactor this small function" and suddenly the entire codebase collapses. Nothing says "I improved the code" like deleting 500 lines without understanding why they were there in the first place. The senior devs watching in horror as production goes down because "that legacy code looked messy." Trust me, that "unnecessary" code was probably keeping your authentication system from imploding.
