The First Commandment Of IT

The First Commandment Of IT
Homer Simpson ripping out a "Free IT Advice" sign to reveal the sacred commandment of tech: "IF IT WORKS, DON'T TOUCH IT." This isn't just advice—it's the unspoken religion of every production environment. That mystical code that ran fine for 7 years? Written by a dev who left the company in 2015? Deployed on a server no one remembers the password to? Yeah, nobody's volunteering to "refactor" that bad boy. We just light candles and pray it continues working until retirement.

I Feel Kinda Bad For These Guys

I Feel Kinda Bad For These Guys
Ah, the classic tale of legacy code getting absolutely demolished by the corporate rebranding train. That poor school bus labeled "Expedition 33" is about to get wrecked by the "Oblivion remaster" locomotive. After 6 years of maintaining that undocumented codebase with duct tape and prayers, management decides what it really needs is a shiny new framework and complete rewrite. The devs who built the original system have long since escaped to better jobs, while you're left watching the inevitable collision between unrealistic deadlines and technical debt. And the best part? In two years they'll just rebrand the wreckage as "Expedition 34: Cloud Edition" and we'll do this dance all over again.

Speed Vs. Complexity: The AI Development Tradeoff

Speed Vs. Complexity: The AI Development Tradeoff
Sure, your AI agent built that app in 5 minutes, but good luck maintaining that spaghetti junction of code six months from now. The left shows traditional development—straightforward, predictable, maybe boring but gets you where you need to go. The right is modern AI development—looks impressive with all those fancy switches and signals, but one wrong move and your train derails into dependency hell. I've seen enough "AI-accelerated" projects crash and burn to know that speed now means tech debt later. The complexity always comes due.

Stare Into The Legacy Abyss

Stare Into The Legacy Abyss
The philosophical horror of maintaining legacy code summarized perfectly. What starts as a quick ticket to "just fix one small bug" turns into an existential crisis when you realize the code was written by someone who left the company 8 years ago and apparently coded while having a stroke. Soon you're the one staring back from the void, muttering "it works, don't touch it" to the next poor soul. Nietzsche would've been a great tech lead. He'd understand why we add comments like "// Don't delete this or everything breaks. I don't know why."
