This is an ancient joke but they replaced the original pigeon with a blue thing instead.

At work, we have a system that has not been updated in many MANY years. Its essential, but because of budget constraints, we cannot update it. Also the new system is SaaS and is 10x (no joke) expensive.
We had around 10 people entering the same documents into the system in a typical form. Its a variation on three different criteria. They spent 40 hours a day just doing this work...
I got tired of having to pull info out of the system and automated it away with Selenium. When my manager saw what it could do, he asked if the document side of things could be done the same way. I created a prototype and boom, solution complete. It been stable for close to a year now. The 10 people now have new responsibilities (most making more $$ from what I hear).
But like the picture above, its a Jank solution. It literally just runs 24x7 throwing things from one system into another system, then pulls the info into another system. And you can see the screen running. But it does work...so im going to call it a success(?)

40 hours a day, now that's some dedicated employees

Lol that's what I get for no coffee today. I'll keep it up for a laugh.

I honestly thought the system had multiple terminals, allowing multiple users working at the same time (like a ye olde mainframe) and you were adding up the time.

I mean, yes, that's how it should be. Refactor it before implementing new features.

Have you ever seen the joke of the wheel that's in the shape of a square? This kind of reminds me of that. Then my mind drifts to the whole the circle peg goes in the circle hole and then what you're not supposed to do... is the circle peg doesn't go in the square hole. Wait a second no no no no no no. So at the end of the day, there's nothing new under the sun.
