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.

Please Stop The Framework Carousel
The eternal struggle between Junior Devs who've just discovered the hot new framework and Senior Devs who've survived 17 framework migrations already. That clenched fist isn't for punching—it's from the physical pain of hearing "let's rewrite everything" for the 5th time this year. The SrDev's face perfectly captures that special mix of trauma, exhaustion, and "I will end you if you suggest Angular 17 when we just finished migrating to Vue." Nothing says "experienced developer" like the thousand-yard stare of someone who knows exactly how many production bugs that migration will cause.

Rewrite It In Rust
The great Rust migration aftermath – where your perfectly functional C++ codebase transforms into a post-apocalyptic wasteland of broken parts. That moment when you stare at the carnage thinking, "But the Reddit thread said it would be memory-safe ." Meanwhile, your deadline was yesterday, your boss is questioning your life choices, and somewhere a Rust evangelist is typing "you probably just didn't understand the borrow checker" on a forum. Sure, no more segfaults... because nothing runs at all. Progress!

This Entire Codebase Must Be Purged
Nothing strikes fear into a developer's soul quite like inheriting a "vibe-coded" codebase. You know the type—written by someone who was "feeling it" at 2AM, fueled by energy drinks and hubris. No comments, variable names like magicNumber42 and iKnowWhatImDoing , and functions that would make Cthulhu weep. Just like Arthas from Warcraft deciding an entire city needed cleansing, sometimes the only rational response to legacy code is total annihilation. Rewrite from scratch? Absolutely justified. That's not technical debt—it's a technical crime scene.

Oh Yes, Rust Gonna Fix That
The classic "Flex Tape" solution meme, but make it programming! Some manager somewhere is watching performance tank because of "mediocre developers" and "slow code due to inefficient algorithms" when suddenly—BAM!—someone slaps on "REWRITING TO RUST" like it's magical duct tape that'll fix everything. Spoiler alert: Throwing a trendy language at architectural problems is like putting racing stripes on a broken car. Sure, your memory management will be safer, but those same mediocre developers will just write mediocre Rust code instead. The compiler will scream, deadlines will extend, and somewhere a project manager's eye is twitching violently.

Same But Different (But More Expensive)
Why fix what's broken when you can just throw it away and build it again from scratch in Rust? Developers turning their noses up at the sensible option of refactoring existing code because the siren call of rewriting everything in a shiny new language is just too tempting. Sure, it'll take 6 months longer, introduce 47 new bugs, and the business stakeholders will be pulling their hair out, but hey—at least you'll get to tell everyone at meetups that you're "memory safe" now.

The Law Of Rustification
STOP EVERYTHING! The Rust evangelists have struck again! 🚨 You haven't even fixed your CSS bugs, but suddenly you're possessed with the BURNING DESIRE to rewrite LITERALLY EVERYTHING in Rust because memory safety is your personality now. Who cares if your project works fine? That ancient C codebase powering the internet for decades? Trash it! Your perfectly functional Python API? GARBAGE! The compiler errors will cleanse your soul as you sacrifice months of productivity at the altar of zero-cost abstractions! It's not a programming language, it's a LIFESTYLE CHOICE!
