Spec Was Followed

malicious-compliance-memes, literal-interpretation-memes, code-humor-memes, for-loop-memes, requirements-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

Someone asked engineers to name every computer ever, and Richard took it literally. Instead of listing actual computer names, he wrote a loop that iterates through all computers and sets each one's name to "ever". Technically correct? Absolutely. Useful? Not even slightly.

It's the classic malicious compliance meets literal interpretation. The spec said "name every computer ever" and by god, every computer is now named "ever". Requirements met, ticket closed, PR approved. Don't blame the engineer—blame whoever wrote that ambiguous spec without acceptance criteria.

This is why we can't have nice things in software development. And why product managers wake up screaming at 3 AM.

Just Asking Out Of Interest

The "asking for a friend" of development. Nothing says "I've already done something catastrophic" like a junior dev casually inquiring about API key removal from git history. That look from the senior dev isn't suspicion—it's the realization that the weekend is now canceled and the entire team is about to learn what a force push really means. Somewhere in the background, the company's security team just felt a disturbance in the force.
