The eternal workplace dichotomy laid bare! Designers will fight to the death over who came up with the rounded corner first, while programmers are basically running a communist utopia of code ownership.

Left side: Designer 1 politely suggests they had similar ideas. Designer 2 goes full rage mode, accusing theft like it's the heist of the century.

Right side: Programmer 1 openly admits to code theft with zero shame. Programmer 2 responds with the ultimate defense mechanism: "It's not my code" – the programming equivalent of "I don't even want it anyway."

Welcome to software development, where nobody wants to own the bugs but everyone wants credit for the pretty buttons.
