Refactoring: The Art Of Making Simple Things Complicated

refactoring-memes, overengineering-memes, technical-debt-memes, code-quality-memes, design-patterns-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

That moment when you "improve" the codebase by refactoring a 10-line function into a 300-line architectural masterpiece that does the exact same thing but is "more maintainable." The face says it all—trying to justify the week-long effort to your team while secretly wondering if anyone will notice you actually made it worse. Classic case of solving a problem that didn't exist, but hey, at least now it follows all 37 design patterns simultaneously!

Draw 25 Or Face The Windows 11 Abyss

Microsoft: "Upgrade to Windows 11 or face the consequences of unsupported software!" Developers with battle-hardened machines: "I'll take the entire deck of security vulnerabilities, thanks."
