Some developer just installed Arch Linux on a vape. Because why enjoy nicotine when you can enjoy kernel panic attacks instead? The screen proudly displays neofetch with that iconic ASCII Arch logo made of characters, complete with system specs. 728MB of RAM - perfect for running exactly one terminal instance before it crashes. Next up: getting Doom to run on it, because that's the true benchmark of unnecessary computing.

Ah yes, the infamous "I Promise To Cleanup After The Refactor" bridge. Just like how every developer swears they'll come back and clean up their temporary hacks after shipping the feature. Five years later, that "quick fix" is now a load-bearing monstrosity that nobody dares to touch. The bridge is still standing though, so technically it works in production!
