First Rule

Ah, the sacred commandment of code maintenance! This plumbing masterpiece perfectly captures that moment when you've cobbled together some unholy abomination of code that somehow—against all logic and reason—actually works. Sure, that pipe is leaking through a crack, but water's still flowing where it needs to go, right? Just like that legacy codebase held together by Stack Overflow snippets and prayers. Touch it to "improve" things and suddenly you've got 47 new bugs and a weekend of emergency hotfixes. The true mark of a senior developer isn't writing perfect code—it's knowing exactly which janky solutions to leave the hell alone.

Programmers Then And Now

Remember when programmers were basically coding demigods who could bend computers to their will? Now we're just sad creatures Googling "how to center div" for the 500th time and begging AI to fix our mistakes. The golden age programmer wrote code without StackOverflow, crafted entire games in Assembly (you know, that language that makes you want to cry), manually fixed memory leaks with pointers, and literally hand-coded the software that put humans on the freaking moon. Meanwhile, modern programmers are trapped in Vim wondering why :q doesn't work, fixing one bug only to create three more like some kind of hydra nightmare, and asking ChatGPT to solve problems we should probably understand ourselves. The decline is real, folks. But hey, at least we have dark mode now.

Saved By Integer Underflow

When your weight variable hits zero and keeps decreasing, you don't disappear—you just wrap around to the maximum value! This is the programmer's version of weight loss where integer underflow turns you from a skinny stick figure into a buff dude instantly. No gym required, just exploit the data type limitations. It's basically the same hack that made Pac-Man playable after level 255. The thin person panicking about being "erased from existence" clearly never implemented proper boundary checks!
