    “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 rollout

      And 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.

    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”

    There’s a particular Midwestern thing of putting a working TV directly in front of the broken TV
