Corporate politics Memes

The ultimate power move in software development isn't getting promoted—it's becoming so indispensable that management bows to your every whim. This meme perfectly captures that moment when you've written such convoluted, undocumented code that you're the only one who understands the arcane system holding the entire company together. Management stands nervously in the background while you, the all-powerful dev, casually decide the fate of the company with each keystroke. The technical debt has become your leverage, and suddenly those denied vacation requests are getting approved without question. Who's really in charge now?
