That traffic light is hanging by a thread but still dutifully showing red! Just like that legacy codebase held together with duct tape, regex hacks, and prayers. Sure, it violates every principle in the Clean Code handbook, but hey—the end users don't know and don't care. They just see a working product while you're sweating bullets during every deploy wondering which cosmic ray will finally bring the whole system crashing down. The ultimate "it ain't stupid if it works" moment in engineering history.
