Festive-programming Memes

Nothing says holiday cheer like debugging production code next to a Christmas tree with some oranges and what appears to be mulled wine. The cozy festive setup complete with twinkling lights really highlights the fact that bugs don't take holidays off. Someone's Christmas wish list probably included "working code" and "no rollbacks on December 25th" but here we are, laptop open, IDE running, living the dream. At least the ambiance is nice—most people debug in fluorescent-lit offices at 2 AM with stale coffee. This developer got the aesthetic memo: if you're gonna work through Christmas, might as well make it look like a Hallmark movie. The oranges are a nice touch too. Vitamin C for the inevitable all-nighter.
