Please Sir Can I Have Some Code

This meme perfectly captures the existential dread of asking a senior developer about their non-existent documentation. You approach them like Oliver Twist begging for gruel, only to be met with the classic "my code is self-explanatory" defense. The senior dev genuinely believes their cryptic variable names and 200-line functions "make perfect sense" while you're left wondering if you're the problem. Spoiler alert: you're not. The documentation is in their head, and they've convinced themselves that telepathy is an industry standard skill.
