Corporate programming Memes

The eternal corporate time capsule in action. New hire suggests using String.strip() to remove whitespaces instead of manually copying strings to arrays and removing spaces. Sounds reasonable until the plot twist - it requires Java 11. Meanwhile, the company's still running Java 10. Wait, no... Java 8. Nothing says "enterprise software" like being stuck on a version released during Obama's presidency. The fancy new method might as well be quantum computing to this codebase. But hey, it works™ - and that's all management cares about.
