The Precarious Tower Of Modern Development

The Jenga tower of modern software development! A goat somehow balancing on a precarious stack of random objects is the perfect metaphor for production code. At the bottom, there's Google—the foundation of all knowledge. Then StackOverflow—because who actually knows how to code without copy-pasting? Next comes "Indian guy on YouTube" who explains in 5 minutes what your CS degree couldn't in 4 years. Old repositories contribute their legacy spaghetti, and finally, pure dumb luck holds it all together. Meanwhile, the bewildered development team stands by wondering how this monstrosity hasn't collapsed yet. Spoiler alert: nobody knows. It just works until it doesn't.

Refactor Everything All The Time

The eternal cycle of software development in its natural habitat! The developer beaver is absolutely buzzing with grand visions of refactoring everything—microservices! Clean architecture! Design patterns galore! Meanwhile, the poor Project Manager beaver is desperately trying to maintain sanity as their developer colleague embarks on yet another quest to rewrite perfectly functional code. That wide-eyed, slightly unhinged look in the last panel? That's the face of a developer who's about to turn a 3-line fix into a 3-week refactoring spree. The PM's exhausted plea hits home for anyone who's ever watched a simple task morph into "let's just rewrite the entire codebase real quick."
