Proprietary software Memes

First day on the job and already discovering the company's sacred tradition: figuring out proprietary tools through trial, error, and existential dread. Documentation? That's just a myth we tell children to help them sleep at night. The real onboarding process is being thrown into the deep end while your manager watches with that special gleam that says "I suffered, so shall you."

The eternal struggle of every developer who's been in the trenches long enough. Sure, some folks keep their code private because it's their golden goose—fair enough, capitalism and all that. But some of us? We're just hiding the digital equivalent of duct tape and prayers that somehow passes code review. The real 10x engineers aren't the ones with proprietary algorithms; they're the ones brave enough to let the world see their 3 AM solutions with variable names like 'temp2', 'finalFinalActuallyFinal', and comments that just say 'TODO: fix this garbage later'.
