When your codebase relies on documentation written during the Bush administration. Legolas here perfectly captures that moment when you realize the docs were written by an ancient developer who has long since departed to the Undying Lands (or Google).

First panel: "My documentation is old" - You're hopeful it might still be relevant.

Second panel: "very old" - Reality sinks in. This predates your programming language's current syntax.

Third panel: "Full of memory" - Filled with references to deprecated functions and memory management techniques nobody uses anymore.

Fourth panel: "and anger" - The inevitable emotion when you realize you'll have to reverse-engineer everything yourself while cursing whoever left this archaeological artifact behind.
