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.

Big Tech To Startup Culture Shock

Corporate developer enters startup chaos: "Where's the documentation?" *crickets* "Unit tests?" *tumbleweed rolls by* "Code review process?" *distant laughter* The shocked Pikachu face perfectly captures that moment when you realize your fancy big tech practices are just fairy tales in startup land, where "ship it now, fix it never" is the unofficial motto and your work-life balance just filed for divorce.
