Java was almost called Oak. Glad they changed it.

STOP. EVERYTHING. The absolute DRAMA of legacy code documentation! Those sacred tomes stacked like the Tower of Babel with their passive-aggressive "THESE BOOKS ARE HERE FOR AN ESSENTIAL STRUCTURAL PURPOSE. THEY ARE NOT FOR SALE." I'm DYING! ๐ It's the perfect metaphor for that ancient codebase nobody dares touch! You know, the one written by that developer who left 7 years ago? The documentation exists PURELY as load-bearing structure holding the entire system together while everyone tiptoes around it whispering "Don't touch it... it works... somehow..." The sheer audacity of those books screaming "I'M ESSENTIAL BUT UNTOUCHABLE" is literally every legacy system that runs the world's banking infrastructure on COBOL from 1983. Touch at your peril, mortals!
