Refactoring: The Art Of Making Simple Things Complicated

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!

Content These programmers always travel in groups of five There's always a tall skinny white guy, short skinny Asian guy, fat guy with a ponytail, some guy with crazy facial hair and then an East Indian guy. It's like they trade guys until they all have the right group.

If It Compiles, Ship It!

Ah, the classic "chandelier headlights" approach to programming. Nothing says "senior developer with deadlines" quite like ripping some random Stack Overflow solution and jamming it into your codebase with zero understanding of how it works. That car is basically every production system I've ever inherited. Sure, those fancy chandeliers aren't designed to be headlights, but hey—they're emitting light, aren't they? Ship it! The real magic happens three months later when you've forgotten you did this and have to debug why your car keeps blowing fuses and setting small birds on fire.
