Backend Dev Begs Entry to Frontend: 'Business Value Over Pretty UI'

Description

The 'Please let me in, I am normal and can be trusted' creepy-silhouette meme: a pitch-black humanoid head with glowing white eyes and an unsettling toothy grin against a light background. The original meme text 'Please let me into the ___' is edited with a bold white caption 'FRONT END CODE', and the bottom text 'I am normal and can be trusted with' is overlaid by 'PRIORITIZING BUSINESS VALUE OVER PRETTY UI'. The joke targets backend/pragmatist engineers (or product-minded devs) pleading for frontend access while promising to ship function over polish - a promise that frontend teams know ends in unstyled divs, inline styles, and 'temporary' admin pages that live forever

The PR says "prioritize business value"; the diff deletes the design system.
