Content Hi everyone 1 got my first job yesterday as a junior backend engineer at Reddit Ever since I was a kid I was only good at computers and later in my life browsing Reddit. This job lets me do these two things to earn moneyl ( Anyway I wasn't able to post yesterday as I was busy with orientation but the cool thing about reddit is that they let you push to production on your second day 1 had a really productive second day at work but for some reason all of my teammates were busy in a war room. Now i am back from work. What did I miss?

Ah, the infamous "vibe coding" conversation. Junior devs think they're being innovative with their "I'll just vibe code something" approach, completely oblivious to the technical debt tsunami they're summoning. Meanwhile, senior devs are having Vietnam-style flashbacks to the last time they had to untangle spaghetti code that someone "vibed" into existence. The real punchline? That month and a half of trouble isn't the junior fixing their own mess—it's the senior who'll be staying late while the junior's already moved on to vibe-coding their next masterpiece. After 15 years in this industry, I've learned that "I'm feeling inspired" is code for "someone else will be feeling despair."

STOP. EVERYTHING. The absolute DRAMA of legacy code documentation! Those sacred tomes stacked like the Tower of Babel with their passive-aggressive "THESE BOOKS ARE HERE FOR AN ESSENTIAL STRUCTURAL PURPOSE. THEY ARE NOT FOR SALE." I'm DYING! 💀 It's the perfect metaphor for that ancient codebase nobody dares touch! You know, the one written by that developer who left 7 years ago? The documentation exists PURELY as load-bearing structure holding the entire system together while everyone tiptoes around it whispering "Don't touch it... it works... somehow..." The sheer audacity of those books screaming "I'M ESSENTIAL BUT UNTOUCHABLE" is literally every legacy system that runs the world's banking infrastructure on COBOL from 1983. Touch at your peril, mortals!
