It Works, Don't Touch It

legacy-code-memes, technical-debt-memes, debugging-memes, code-quality-memes, spaghetti-code-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

A traffic light hanging by a single wire, somehow still functioning despite being completely mangled. Just like that codebase you inherited with 17 nested if-statements, zero comments, and variable names like 'temp1' and 'x42' that miraculously passes all the tests. You don't fix it because you're afraid it might actually stop working. The digital equivalent of "if it's stupid but it works, it's not stupid" – except we all know it's still stupid.

I Have Never Seen This Question In My Life

That awkward moment when your desperate 2AM search leads you to your own StackOverflow answer from 3 years ago. There you are, awarding yourself a medal for solving a problem you've completely forgotten about. The ultimate digital déjà vu - congratulating past you while current you has absolutely zero recollection of ever being that smart. Truly the circle of developer life.

Triple E Or Something

Microsoft's product strategy in a nutshell: throw everything at the wall, see what sticks, then pretend the blood puddles were part of the plan all along. Windows Phone? Dead. Skype? Somehow still technically alive but nobody's checking for a pulse. Windows 10? They promised it would be the "last version of Windows" then immediately started working on Windows 11. Meanwhile GitHub is just chilling in the corner, the golden child acquisition that actually worked out. Probably because Microsoft learned their lesson: buy successful things and don't touch them too much. Revolutionary strategy, really. The "EEE" reference is *chef's kiss* - that's "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish," Microsoft's infamous strategy from the 90s where they'd adopt open standards, add proprietary features, then kill the competition. Now they're just extinguishing their own products. Character development, I guess?
