“That was a temporary solution we implemented around 15”
“What, like 15 minutes ago?”
“2015”
You really do see so many of those over time.
// Temporary - remove after rolloutAnd you do a git blame to see if you can safely remove it and the code is like 5 years old and the person has left the company.

This joke gets funnier the older it is
i’ve had a script in need of rewrite for like 5 years
i just keep duct taping and tweaking every time another thing breaks
at this point i barely understand the code anymore
it’s literally titled “temporary script until i fix the real one, 2018”
how it be sometimes
There’s a particular Midwestern thing of putting a working TV directly in front of the broken TV
TIL
Comment out the broken clock 😭
