Last month? That code is basically ancient history at this point. I can barely remember what I had for breakfast, let alone the mental gymnastics I performed to make that cursed function work. You want me to explain why I nested three ternary operators inside a map function? Brother, I was a different person back then. That code worked through sheer willpower and Stack Overflow snippets, held together by prayers and console.logs I forgot to remove.

The real kicker is when management thinks code is self-documenting and you can just "quickly walk them through it." Sure, let me just decipher these variable names like temp2, finalFinal, and thisOneActuallyWorks that made perfect sense at 2 PM on a Friday.
