Everything Is Just An App Now

The eternal wisdom of programming: even terrible documentation feels like a gift when you've spent hours staring at undocumented code wondering why the hell it works at all. Nothing quite matches that specific joy of finding a single cryptic comment after debugging for 3 hours. "// Don't touch this or everything breaks" - ah yes, the pinnacle of technical writing.

And naturally, refactoring is "not in the budget" because who needs maintainability when you can have feature #1001?
