Evolving Backwards

Ah, the ancient architectural marvel of "I'll fix it later" engineering! This stone bridge with its bizarre double-arch structure perfectly represents what happens when you push your janky code to production while whispering sweet nothings about "cleaning it up in the refactor." The bridge is somehow still standing despite looking like it was designed by three different engineers who never spoke to each other. Just like your codebase after six months of "temporary fixes" and "we'll document this later" commits. Spoiler alert: The refactor never comes. That bridge has probably been "temporary" since 1873, much like your workaround for that authentication bug from 2019.

Nothing ruins a casual catch-up faster than the dreaded "So I have this app idea..." moment. It's that special hell where you're suddenly trapped between honesty ("your idea already exists in 47 different apps") and friendship ("sounds revolutionary, buddy!"). Every developer knows the pain of becoming an impromptu technical consultant the moment someone discovers what you do for a living. The worst part? They always think their idea is worth billions, but the payment offer is "exposure" and "equity" in their non-existent startup. Next time, just say you're a professional mime.
