There's commenting code, and then there's weaponizing comments. While you're over there documenting your elegant solutions, some developers are crafting elaborate manifestos defending why they chose to implement a singleton that manages 47 global variables with a switch statement that's 300 lines long. The truly diabolical part? The comments are so well-written that the next developer thinks, "This person clearly thought this through." No, Chad, they just have excellent PR skills for their terrible code crimes.

Both Take Longer Than Expected

This meme perfectly captures the evolution of "epics" in software development with the classic "then vs now" format using the Doge meme. On the left side ("Epics then"), we see a muscular, heroic Doge dressed as a Greek warrior with a lengthy epic poem from Homer's Iliad - representing how epics used to be grand, detailed narratives with elaborate scope and planning. On the right side ("Epics now"), there's just a regular Doge with the simple request "plz add a button" - hilariously showing how modern software development "epics" have been watered down to sometimes include trivial tasks that hardly deserve such an important-sounding classification. This perfectly captures the frustration many developers feel when working with agile methodologies where the term "epic" (meant to represent a large body of work) is often misused for simple feature requests. It's also poking fun at how project management terminology gets diluted over time in real-world practice.

Sounds Like Irony

THE AUDACITY! This poor soul thought they were escaping the legal labyrinth only to land in the coding HELLSCAPE of Stack Overflow arguments, conflicting documentation, and StackOverflow answers from 2011 that somehow still work but nobody knows why! 💀 Traded one nightmare for another - avoiding legal jargon just to spend eternity debating whether tabs or spaces are superior while three different package managers fight to the death on your hard drive. The cosmic joke of career choices!

OH. MY. GOD. The AUDACITY of these students using a 32-bit integer for EVERYTHING! 💀 Meanwhile, that poor 8-bit char and 16-bit short are just STANDING THERE, completely IGNORED and UNEMPLOYED! The DRAMA! The WASTE of precious memory! It's like buying a mansion just to store your socks! Those memory-efficient data types are literally BEGGING to be used, but nooooo, let's just throw 32 bits at EVERYTHING because who needs optimization when you have 16GB of RAM, right?! The 1970s programmers are ROLLING in their retirement homes right now!
