Unless You Work With Aeroplanes Or Something

The classic developer mantra: "Nobody is going to die if you write bad software" paired with "Faking it till you make it should probably be fine" and a dead platypus in the middle. The perfect encapsulation of that voice in your head justifying why it's OK to push untested code to production on a Friday afternoon. Just remember, somewhere an aviation software engineer is reading this and having a panic attack.

But It Does Run

The eternal battle between code quality and functionality in its purest form! The senior developer (naval officer) is appalled by your spaghetti code abomination, but the junior dev (Jack Sparrow) has the ultimate comeback—it might be held together with duct tape and prayers, but dammit, it compiles and runs in production! Every programmer knows that feeling when you've hacked together a solution that makes seasoned engineers question their career choices, but somehow passes all the tests. The compiler doesn't judge your methods, only your syntax!

If It Works, Don't Touch It

The sacred rule of programming: when something works, leave it alone . But no, we just had to add that fancy animation and refactor that "ugly" but functional code. Now production's down, Slack is blowing up, and management wants to know why the site looks like it was hit by a digital tornado. Next time, maybe we'll remember that "working" trumps "pretty" every single time. The bike was fine until we decided it needed racing stripes and a bell.

Content Has no plan just codes and hopes for the best. Somehow makes it work at the end of the day. Copy pastes solid code using ton of libraries. Maybe not the fastest but gets the job done well. Creates own language, frameworks, libraries. Top notch code for everything. Nobody knows why he does it this way, but his work is impressive.

Legacy Code: A Beautiful Piece Of Crap

The perfect metaphor for our relationship with legacy code! First, we acknowledge it feels abandoned and worthless after years of neglect. Then we realize we actually need it because the entire production system depends on it. We examine it closer, only to discover it's simultaneously a masterpiece of engineering and absolute garbage that nobody wants to refactor. The dung beetle whispering sweet nothings to literal crap is exactly how we justify maintaining that COBOL monstrosity from 1983 that somehow still processes all your financial transactions.
