Temporary Solution That Became A Legacy Relic

The most profound truth in software development, delivered with zero lies detected. That "quick fix" you implemented on Friday with plans to refactor on Monday? Congratulations, it's now running critical infrastructure for the next decade.

The irony is exquisite - we write documentation for our "temporary" hacks more detailed than our actual architecture because deep down we know that duct-taped monstrosity will outlive us all. Future developers will build religions around your commented "TODO: fix this properly later" from 2015.

Content What I say: I'm a computer science major. What people hear: I can resolve any tech issue you have ever or will ever have on any machine that exists in this universe. I am jacked into the Matrix at all times. I am the IT god. Look upon me and despair. What I mean: Sometimes I try to tell the computer to do something and I cry when it doesn't work.
