Dirty Code, Happy Managers

Text on the meme

YOUR CODE IS DIRTY BUT BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS ARE SATISFIED WE HAD DELIVERED NOT MAINTAINABLE LEGACY, LOST YEARS OF OUR LIVES AND OF OUR COMPANY FOR NOTHING DESPITE THIS OUR MANAGERS ARE VERY HAPPY I'M GOING TO START PROGRAMMING IN HASKELL

What it means

A furious programmer argues that the code is dirty, then admits that the business requirements are satisfied. Despite delivering unmaintainable legacy software and wasting years, the managers are happy, prompting him to jokingly threaten to start programming in Haskell. The meme is used by developers to mock business-driven software development and the absurd contrast between technical debt and management approval.
