Ah, the classic "it's not broken, so don't fix it" philosophy taken to its logical extreme! This rickety tower of sticks and mud is somehow still standing—much like that legacy codebase written by the guy who left 5 years ago. Sure, it looks like it might collapse if you sneeze in its general direction, but hey, "The program is stable"! This is what happens when technical debt becomes load-bearing. One wrong move and you'll be spending your weekend debugging the apocalypse. The perfect metaphor for that production system held together by duct tape, prayers, and that one mysterious function nobody understands but everyone fears.
