When Documentation Is Just A Suggestion

documentation-memes, hacks-memes, security-memes, stackoverflow-memes, technical-debt-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

The classic security theater of development. Two door handles secured by a padlock that's completely bypassing the actual locking mechanism. Sure, it looks secure to management walking by, much like that code you cobbled together from Stack Overflow snippets without reading a single line of documentation. Is it actually secure? Absolutely not. Will it pass code review? Somehow, yes. Just don't touch it or breathe near it - that's how production incidents are born.

Ah, the classic "I'll fix it later" comment that's been sitting there since 2019. The code has an if-else statement that does exactly the same thing in both branches. Someone probably spent hours debugging why their overloaded function wasn't working, then just gave up and wrote this abomination with a promise to fix it "when TypeScript understands overloading well enough." Spoiler alert: they never fixed it, and three devs have since quit rather than touch this cursed file.
