Code Reusability

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.

Just Reuse The Class Bro

Someone really looked at their codebase and said "let's make one class do literally everything." Entity, DTO, Domain Model, API Contract, AND Kafka Message? That's not code reuse, that's architectural Stockholm syndrome. Sure, you saved yourself from writing a few mappers, but now your database entity knows about your message broker, your API exposes internal IDs, and your domain logic is coupled to JSON serialization annotations. Good luck explaining to the new junior why changing a Kafka field breaks the database migration. The tears in that meme? Those are from the poor soul who has to refactor this nightmare six months later when requirements change. Separation of concerns died so you could avoid writing three extra classes.
