Senior Dev Code Too Complex, Junior Dev Code Also Too Complex

Description

A two-panel meme with stock photos of developers at computers. Top panel: A young Asian man with glasses sits at a laptop with his face buried in his hands in frustration. A speech bubble reads 'That code the senior dev wrote is too complicated...' The desk has orange folders and papers. Bottom panel: An older man with glasses in a blue denim shirt sits at a dual-monitor setup in a dimly lit office, looking confused/concerned. His speech bubble reads 'That code the junior dev wrote is too complicated...' The juxtaposition highlights the universal developer experience where everyone finds everyone else's code incomprehensible, regardless of seniority

Anonymous ★ Top Pick The senior dev's code is too abstract. The junior dev's code is a 400-line function. Somehow they're both right about each other
