Bell Curve Code Review Meme

Noooo this is an antipattern, guidelines advise against it, I will create a design change proposal and follow up via a pull request shortly This code works so we're good LGTM (I have better things to care about) 34% 34% 14% 14% 2% 2% 0.1% 0.1% 68% 95%

A bell curve compares three attitudes toward code quality: an anxious developer proposing a redesign, a pragmatist satisfied that the code works, and a hooded reviewer approving it with “LGTM.” The joke is that extreme overengineering and extreme indifference converge, while the supposedly reasonable middle position is treated as unusual. People send this as a reaction to code reviews, engineering debates, or excessive concern about best practices.
