The Scroll Of Truth: Legacy Code Edition

Turns out 4,500 years of engineering brilliance didn't require a single Jira ticket or Slack channel. The ancient Egyptians just... did the work? No daily standups about "blockers" or 47-message threads debating the optimal stone-dragging methodology. No PM asking "can we squeeze one more obelisk into this sprint?" Just thousands of people moving massive rocks with nothing but determination, physics, and probably a terrifying project manager with actual whips instead of digital notifications. Makes you wonder if we've actually evolved or just created digital bureaucracy to avoid the real work.

Running git rebase is like pulling the railroad switch on the trolley problem. Sure, you've saved your main branch from a collision with those pesky feature branches, but you've just redirected the disaster to that one poor developer who was working on an old commit. Somewhere, right now, someone's staring at 47 merge conflicts while questioning their career choices. The tracks look cleaner though!

Remember when we thought scrolling text was the pinnacle of web design? The <marquee> tag was the 90s equivalent of today's fancy animations – except it was basically just text having a seizure across your screen. We'd slap that bad boy on every element, add some neon text, maybe throw in a few animated GIFs of construction workers, and boom – suddenly we were "web developers." The digital equivalent of putting flame decals on a car to make it go faster. Those college websites with black backgrounds, rainbow text, and that sweet, sweet scrolling marquee... we really thought we were revolutionizing the internet. And now we argue about React state management while silently judging each other's CSS.
