Feature Works After Undo

Feature: *works* Me : *makes changes to feature Feature: *stops working Me : *undo changes* Feature: *starts working again* Me : Ah, yes, progress is being made

A smiling man in a red sweater gives a thumbs-up while holding a laptop against a yellow background. The joke describes a common developer experience: a feature breaks after code changes, then mysteriously works again when the changes are undone, creating the illusion of progress. It is used as a reaction to debugging, regression, and fake progress in software development.
