Multigenerational Tech Debt

The true family business - legacy COBOL code! Someone's friend just inherited a codebase last touched by mom in the 90s, while the reply cleverly points out this isn't the kind of inheritance pattern they teach in CS class. Nothing says job security like maintaining 30-year-old code written by your actual parent. The family that codes together, stays locked in maintenance hell together. If your resume says "COBOL" in 2023, banks are already throwing money at you while sobbing uncontrollably.

Someone's been reading Uncle Bob's "Clean Code" a bit too religiously! Instead of using normal array indexes like a sane person, they've created named constants for the values 0, 1, 2, and 3. It's like wearing a three-piece suit to take out the trash—technically more formal but completely unnecessary. This is what happens when you follow the "magic numbers are evil" principle without applying any common sense filter. Next up: creating a constant called PLUS_ONE because incrementing by 1 isn't self-documenting enough! 🤦‍♂️
