Guilty-conscience Memes

You're desperately trying to hide that beautiful, perfectly working code snippet you just yoinked from StackOverflow while your project manager casually strolls by. The plunger in hand really sells the "I'm just doing some totally original maintenance work here" vibe. The genius part? That code probably solves a problem that would've taken you 4 hours to figure out yourself, but now you're acting like you just committed a felony. Meanwhile, the PM has no idea that 80% of the codebase is held together by StackOverflow answers, prayer, and that one guy who answered a question in 2014. Pro tip: Just make sure you understand what you're pasting before the inevitable bug report comes in and you have to explain why your authentication system is using a regex from a thread about parsing HTML.
