"I can reuse this old function if I just monkey-patch this other class to work with it, no one will have any issues understanding what's going on"

Edit: Thought this was the programmerhumor community. For context: A monkey-patch is when you write code that changes the behaviour of some completely different code when it is running, thus making its inner workings completely incomprehensible to the poor programmer using or reading your code.
