Every developer knows that moment when the artist drops a gorgeous new asset in Slack and you're like "cool cool cool" but inside you're having a FULL EXISTENTIAL CRISIS because that placeholder art you slapped in 6 months ago? It's been through 47 merge conflicts, survived 3 refactors, and is now hardcoded into approximately 892 different files. Sure, swapping it out SHOULD be easy... but we both know you're about to spend the next 4 hours hunting down every single reference while the old art clings to your codebase like it's auditioning for a horror movie.

The physical manifestation of the phrase "it worked on my machine" right before everyone disappears for four days. Pro tip: servers can smell fear and holiday plans.
