I Was There When It Was Written

legacy-code-memes, senior-developers-memes, code-maintenance-memes, technical-debt-memes, ancient-code-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The thousand-yard stare of someone who's survived COBOL, Fortran, and that one codebase from 1997 that nobody dares to touch. Senior devs don't just understand legacy code—they were forged in its fires, back when documentation was a sticky note and version control meant making a copy called "final_FINAL_v2_ACTUALLY_FINAL.txt". They don't fear the spaghetti; they've eaten it for breakfast for decades.

Legacy Software Companies Attempt AI Integration

The absolute state of enterprise software in 2024! This soap dispenser pumping directly onto a bar of soap perfectly captures how legacy companies implement AI - just slapping a chatbot on top of their ancient codebase without any actual integration. It's like putting racing stripes on a horse-drawn carriage and calling it "AI-powered transportation." The poor chatbot is just sitting there, desperately trying to make sense of 20-year-old spaghetti code written by developers who have long since retired to tropical islands.
