Integration hell Memes

Adding a new feature to legacy code is like strapping a time-traveling DeLorean to a steam locomotive. Sure, both technically move forward, but one's from 1885 and the other's hitting 88mph. The resulting explosion isn't a bug—it's a feature. The real miracle is that your commit message didn't just say "I'm sorry."

That classic dilemma: maintain job security by implementing the company's terrible ideas or end it all to spare yourself the shame of what you're creating. Nothing says "professional growth" quite like building integrations nobody asked for that actively make the product worse. The real tragedy? You'll still have to maintain that garbage code for the next five years while management calls it "innovative." Bonus points if they add it to your performance review as a "key achievement."
