The AUDACITY of code to exist in such a horrific state! Our poor protagonist goes from rage-reading someone else's spaghetti code to the DRAMATIC realization that it must be completely rewritten. After furiously planning, typing, and sweating through the keyboard, what does this coding martyr create? A CLONE of the original disaster but in a different color! The absolute PINNACLE of developer evolution - hating someone's code so passionately you rebuild the exact same monstrosity and then have the NERVE to feel smug about it. The final frame where they're gleefully planning to delete the original is just *chef's kiss* - as if the red machine wasn't literally BIRTHED from the same deranged logic. Honey, that's not refactoring, that's just putting lipstick on a digital pig!
