Ah, the classic interrogation scene but with a coding twist. The detective isn't asking about a murder—he's confronting the suspect about that mythical "future refactoring" everyone promises but never delivers.

You know the drill: "I'll clean up this horrific spaghetti code later" becomes a cold case faster than you can say "technical debt." That poor developer in the hospital gown is all of us when our past coding sins finally catch up and the system crashes in production.

The only difference between this interrogation and real life is that in real life, we're both the detective AND the suspect. Trust me, your "I'll fix it next sprint" promises are fooling nobody—especially not your future self.
