But At Least They Are Passing

The eternal cycle of software development in its natural habitat! The developer beaver is absolutely buzzing with grand visions of refactoring everything—microservices! Clean architecture! Design patterns galore! Meanwhile, the poor Project Manager beaver is desperately trying to maintain sanity as their developer colleague embarks on yet another quest to rewrite perfectly functional code. That wide-eyed, slightly unhinged look in the last panel? That's the face of a developer who's about to turn a 3-line fix into a 3-week refactoring spree. The PM's exhausted plea hits home for anyone who's ever watched a simple task morph into "let's just rewrite the entire codebase real quick."

That sweet, sweet whisper of "0 warnings, 0 errors" from the compiler is basically foreplay for developers. The sheer ecstasy of code that compiles perfectly on the first try is so rare that when it happens, it literally gives us physical goosebumps. It's that magical moment when you've written 500 lines of code and somehow didn't mess up a single semicolon, bracket, or variable name. Pure. Developer. Bliss.

The bell curve of programming wisdom strikes again! We've got the rare intellectual specimens on both ends (14%) who actually write meaningful comments to document their thought process, while the mediocre majority (34% + 34%) proudly proclaim "my code is self-documenting!!" with that smug face we all know too well. It's the perfect illustration of the Dunning-Kruger effect in coding practices. The beginners and masters understand the value of good documentation, while the dangerous middle-grounders think their spaghetti mess speaks for itself.
