Rewrite-from-scratch Memes

Epic Games really said "Programming is hard" and then proceeded to... program a whole new launcher anyway. The beautiful irony here is that they're literally complaining about how difficult programming is while simultaneously announcing they programmed something complex. It's like saying "Running marathons is exhausting" while crossing the finish line of your third marathon this week. The best part? They're not wrong. Programming is hard. But instead of fixing bugs in the old launcher, they went full "let's rewrite everything from scratch" mode—the classic developer trap we all fall into when refactoring seems scarier than starting over. Spoiler alert: it never is.
