The Archaeological Expedition Into Legacy Code

Entering ancient legacy code is like spelunking into a forgotten tomb. You're SpongeBob, nervously peeking into a dark, rusty corridor of code written by someone who probably left the company five jobs ago. The comments (if any) might as well be hieroglyphics, and the dependencies are so old they're practically fossilized. You know the second you touch anything, the whole structure might collapse. But hey, the ticket says "minor update" so... good luck, brave explorer! Just remember to bring a flashlight and version control.

The Infinite Ticket Generator

Ah, the beautiful perversion of incentive structures! When your bonus depends on closing tickets, suddenly every minor inconvenience becomes a golden opportunity. Why solve one problem when you can create two more? This IT hero isn't just thinking outside the box—they're actively stealing boxes from other departments to generate more tickets. The perfect corporate ecosystem: create problems, solve problems, profit. Next week on "How to Game the System": unplugging random network cables and convincing the marketing department that their monitors work better upside down.

Don't Tell My Boss

When your tech lead says "this should only take an hour" but you're still getting paid for the full seven. Suddenly, that impossible legacy codebase doesn't seem so bad when you're collecting a senior dev salary to stare at your IDE for 6 hours and 50 minutes after making one tiny commit. The sweet satisfaction of being overpaid for underdelivering - the true developer dream.

Oh no, another one.
