Edge Cases Create More Edge Cases

Text on the meme

WHEN I STARTED THIS MORNING, THERE WERE A FEW EDGE CASES I WAS CONFUSED ABOUT. BUT NOW, AFTER A FULL DAY OF RESEARCH, I'M CONFUSED ABOUT ALL THE REGULAR CASES, TOO. AH, ACTUAL PROGRESS!

What it means

A black-and-white three-panel comic shows a person researching edge cases at a desk while another person comments. After a full day of research, the person becomes confused about all the regular cases too, sarcastically calling this “actual progress.” It is used as a reaction to situations where studying a difficult topic creates even more confusion.
