Please Don't Touch

The stack of rocks holding up that fence is basically legacy code in its purest form. Junior devs see it and think, "What an ugly hack! I'll just refactor this real quick." Meanwhile, senior devs know the truth - that "temporary" solution has been supporting the entire system for years, and disturbing it would trigger a cascade of disasters nobody can predict. The fence hasn't fallen yet, so clearly those random rocks are doing something right! It's the programming equivalent of finding duct tape holding together critical infrastructure and slowly backing away.

Whenever I Get The Build Is Failing E-Mail

The two emotional stages of CI/CD pipeline notifications: First panel: Immediate existential dread when you see the build failure email right after your commit. That moment when your stomach drops and you're mentally preparing your resignation letter. Second panel: The sweet relief when you realize someone else's garbage code is the actual culprit. Suddenly you're the zen master of software development again, calmly sipping coffee while watching the team chat erupt in finger-pointing. The universal developer experience - from cardiac arrest to smug superiority in 30 seconds flat.
