When Multiple Devs Have Worked On One Project Over The Years

This meme perfectly captures the chaos that ensues when multiple developers work on the same codebase over time without proper coordination!

The building in the image is a perfect metaphor for legacy code that has been modified by different developers with different styles and approaches. Each window and architectural element represents a different developer's contribution - completely mismatched, with no consistent design pattern or structure.

Just like in software development, you can see how each "feature" (window, balcony, door) was added without considering how it fits with the overall architecture. Some windows are rectangular, others are angled oddly, and there's even what looks like a curved section that makes no sense with the rest of the design.

This is exactly what happens when developers inherit code, make quick fixes without understanding the original design, or when there's no code review process. Each developer adds their own "solution" that works for their immediate need without considering the overall structure.

The title "When Multiple Devs Have Worked On One Project Over The Years" is spot on - this is the visual representation of technical debt and what happens when documentation is poor and knowledge transfer between team members fails. It's the perfect representation of that codebase everyone's afraid to touch because "it works, but nobody knows how or why."
