Every Developer's Kryptonite

Just like vampires fear sunshine and Superman fears kryptonite, modern developers run screaming from COBOL code. That ancient green screen with its uppercase commands might as well be garlic to a vampire. The joke's on us though—those legacy COBOL systems still run 95% of ATM transactions and most airline booking systems. Nothing strikes fear in the heart of a 20-something React developer quite like being told "we need you to maintain this 60-year-old mainframe code." Career kryptonite indeed.

The eternal battlefield of code reviews captured in one perfect image. Code reviewers (the kids) are desperately trying to protect themselves from the tiger (that obvious bug that will definitely crash production), while completely ignoring the rabbit (a harmless typo in a comment). Classic case of missing the forest for the trees—or in this case, missing the tiger for the bunny. The same reviewers who'll write a 12-paragraph essay about your variable naming conventions will somehow miss the null pointer exception that's about to nuke your entire AWS instance.
