The tiniest function in the codebase, yet somehow has the most dramatic documentation. That empty function with a novel-length comment explaining why we don't use it is the programming equivalent of buying gym equipment just to hang clothes on it. The best part? It's private, so nobody else will ever see your shame. That's not technical debt—it's a historical artifact preserved for future archaeologists to puzzle over.

It's like moving to a nicer neighborhood and pretending you grew up there.
