It works dont touch it Memes

The evolution of our code is like Noah's bizarre coding ark. At the top, we've got the majestic StackOverflow elephant carrying us through deadlines, the documentation rabbit that nobody reads, GitHub's bear-minimum code contributions, the professor's penguin-perfect examples that never work in real life, your friend's crocodile code (dangerous but sometimes useful), and your actual code... just lying there, barely alive. Then suddenly—a miracle! That unholy chimera of copy-pasted snippets, caffeine-fueled 3AM hacks, and pure desperation somehow WORKS. The client stares at your Frankenstein's monster of code with the same bewilderment you have. Nobody knows how or why it runs, but it does, and we're all too afraid to refactor it.

The traffic light is literally hanging by a thread but still functioning—just like that spaghetti code you wrote at 3 AM with 17 nested if-statements and zero comments. Sure, it violates every engineering principle known to mankind, but the unit tests pass! That red light stopping traffic is the digital equivalent of your monstrosity somehow preventing production crashes while your tech lead silently weeps during code review.

Ah, the classic "it works but I have no idea how" scenario! The bird drawings perfectly capture the chaos of software development. You start with a well-designed bird (your initial clean code), then it gets progressively more abstract yet somehow still flies (functions). Every developer has experienced that moment when your code resembles the bottom-left bird - a tangled mess of spaghetti logic, nested if-statements, and emergency patches - yet somehow it still performs its core function like the bird on the bottom-right. The true horror isn't that it works despite looking like a nightmare - it's that nobody dares refactor it because it might stop working altogether! Ship it to production anyway!
