It Works, Don't Touch It

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.

The Main Thing Is That It Works

BEHOLD! The magnificent evolution of code quality! From a beautifully drawn bird (your initial design doc) to whatever THAT monstrosity is in the bottom left (your actual implementation). And yet—SOMEHOW—the abomination still flies! It's like watching your 47 nested if-statements and global variables held together by duct tape and prayers somehow pass all the acceptance tests. The client doesn't care that your code looks like it was written during an earthquake by a caffeinated raccoon. Ship it to production, baby! Technical debt is tomorrow's problem!
