Text on the meme

You finally find the source of the bug! It’s a variable labelled “temp” temp was committed into the code 4 years ago and was never removed Several important calculations seem to rely on temp now None of this is documented

What it means

A blue-haired anime girl reacts in four panels after discovering that a variable named “temp” has remained in the code for four years. Her expression shifts from delighted amusement to concern as she realizes important calculations depend on it and nobody documented why. The meme is used by programmers to react to frightening legacy code and undocumented technical debt.
