Code-reusability Memes

Oh honey, someone out there really took "Don't Repeat Yourself" to a whole new level of chaos. We've got ONE light switch pulling double duty controlling BOTH the lights AND the elevator because apparently separating concerns is for people with actual budgets. Some architect somewhere was like "why waste money on two switches when we can create a beautiful nightmare?" Now you've got people trapped in darkness every time someone needs to go up a floor. It's giving "tightly coupled code" energy but in REAL LIFE. The building management really said "let's make everything depend on everything else" and called it efficiency. Somewhere, a software engineer is having flashbacks to that one function that does seventeen unrelated things because the original dev thought they were being clever.
