Please Sir Can I Have Some Code

documentation-memes, senior-developers-memes, code-quality-memes, onboarding-memes, legacy-code-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

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.

Junior Dev Writing Documentation

Ah, the classic junior dev documentation approach: when in doubt, take a screenshot, add some ALL CAPS text pointing to the obvious, draw an arrow, and don't forget that official signature of approval! This is peak "documentation complete" energy. The button literally says "PUSH TO LOCK" on it already, but our enthusiastic junior has created a whole supplementary user manual for this complex system. Next sprint feature: a 50-page PDF explaining how to use the office microwave.

Trust Me Bro A Script Will Be Faster

Ah, the classic developer paradox! Spend 5 minutes doing a mundane task? Absolutely not. Spend 30 minutes automating that same task? *finger guns* Sign me up! Every programmer knows that sweet dopamine hit from creating a script that saves you approximately 0.03 seconds per year. It's not about efficiency—it's about the principle of never doing manually what could be automated with 6x the effort. The math never checks out, but we'll defend our automation decisions to the death. Future me will thank present me... probably... maybe... if I remember where I saved the script.
