Content When your code is a complete mess, but it still works

The sacred commandment of tech support, embodied in physical form. That network switch has clearly been through several apocalypses, covered in dust, cobwebs, and what might be the remnants of ancient civilizations. Yet somehow, against all odds, those tangled Ethernet cables are still delivering packets. This is the production environment equivalent of balancing your entire infrastructure on a house of cards built by an intern who left six years ago. No documentation, no backups, just a prayer and that one guy who refuses to take vacations because "the system might notice he's gone." Cleaning it would be the responsible thing to do. Replacing it would be the correct thing to do. But touching it? That's how you become the person who took down the entire company because "it was dusty."

The CS student who's discovered that mentioning "MONEY" 12 times in one post is somehow a personality trait. Classic case of someone who picked Computer Science solely for the salary but hasn't yet realized they'll need to actually write code for 40 years to earn it. The real flex will be when they discover their first debugging session lasts longer than their entire college career. Nothing says "future tech lead material" like someone who thinks they'll waltz into a $200k job without caring about the actual work. Spoiler alert: the people making that kind of money actually enjoy solving problems beyond "how to get more money."

Google knows what's up. Search for "proper way to commit after merge conflict" and it immediately suggests the Suicide Prevention Lifeline. That's not a bug—it's a feature! Nothing pushes a developer closer to the edge than spending three hours resolving merge conflicts only to have Git scream at you about some invisible whitespace issue. The algorithm has clearly been trained on the tears of developers who've had to manually merge 500 lines of conflicting code at 4:59pm on a Friday. Google's just saving time by cutting out the middle step between "git merge master" and existential despair.
