Sales Call Technical Expert Swallows Hard: 'I Love This Product'

Description

A two-panel meme (imgflip.com watermark) captioned 'WHEN I NEED TO ATTEND A SALES CALL WITH A CUSTOMER AS TECHNICAL EXPERT'. Left panel: a middle-aged man in a beige sweater over a blue collared shirt grimaces mid-bite into a fast-food burger labeled '5 MILLION LINE JAVA LEGACY CODEBASE WITH 20% TEST COVERAGE, 120 CVES AND VIRTUALLY NO DOCS'. Right panel: the same man, seated with fries and a soda, forces a strained smile and says 'I love this product.' The meme skewers the engineer-on-sales-call ritual of publicly praising a product whose internals you know are a security-riddled, undocumented legacy swamp
