Is This Turning A Bug Into A Feature

Look at that broken plastic piece being repurposed as a hook. That's basically the coding equivalent of:

"Hey, that null pointer exception is actually super useful for detecting when the user does something stupid!"

Every senior dev has that moment where they stare at their janky workaround and think, "Ship it. It's not a bug anymore—it's an undocumented feature with character." Bonus points if you add a cryptic comment like // Don't touch this. It works. I don't know why.

Exiting Vim Has Never Been Easier

The octopus with its many tentacles perfectly captures the eldritch horror of trying to escape Vim! "Just memorize these fourteen contextually dependent instructions" is the understatement of the century. Every developer knows the panic that sets in when accidentally opening Vim in the terminal—suddenly you're trapped in a text editor designed by Cthulhu himself. The "Eventually" at the bottom is the chef's kiss, acknowledging that you'll escape... someday... perhaps after evolving additional appendages. The "O RLY?" publisher parody is the perfect finishing touch for this monument to keyboard suffering.
