Companies love to brag about "sparing no expense" on their tech infrastructure, then proceed to hire exactly one developer to babysit 2 million lines of undocumented legacy code. Because why hire a team when you can just slowly crush the soul of a single engineer? The Jurassic Park reference is chef's kiss here—Newman's setup perfectly captures that "I'm surrounded by chaos I didn't create but am somehow responsible for" energy. At least Newman had dinosaurs as an excuse. Your solo dev just has management's budget cuts and unrealistic expectations.
