Funny programmer t-shirt with the code snippet "backlog > lifespan;" — the dark truth that your task list will outlive you. A minimal tech humour tee for developers, product managers, and anyone drowning in Jira tickets.
`backlog > lifespan;` — one line of code that says it all. The work will never end. The tickets will outlive you. And that sprint goal? It'll still be "in progress" long after you've left. This tee wears the programmer's darkest truth in clean monospaced text on the chest — compact, minimal, and instantly understood by anyone who speaks in sprints and story points. Soft ring-spun cotton, relaxed fit, neutral palette. Wear it to sprint reviews, late-night debugging sessions, or the retrospective where someone suggests "we just need to prioritise better."

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does delivery take?
Each item is made-to-order just for you, so production takes 2-5 business days before shipping. Delivery times vary by location — estimated shipping times and costs for your country are shown at checkout. All orders include tracking so you can follow your package.
Will the print fade or crack after washing?
Our designs are printed using DTG (Direct to Garment) technology with water-based eco-friendly inks that bond directly to the fabric fibres. With proper care — washing cold, inside-out, and tumble drying on low — your print will stay vibrant for years.
What's your return & refund policy?
Since each item is printed on demand specifically for you, we cannot accept returns or exchanges for change of mind. However, if your item arrives damaged or defective, contact us within 30 days of delivery with a photo of the issue and we'll send a free replacement or full refund — no need to return the item.
Is this true to size?
Yes — our garments follow standard unisex sizing (see the size guide above). Measurements may vary by ±1.5 inches. If you're between sizes or prefer a more relaxed fit, we recommend sizing up one.
Why is this made-to-order?
Every item is printed fresh when you order it — no pre-made stock sitting in a warehouse. This means zero waste, more sustainable production, and your garment is made specifically for you. It takes a few extra days, but you're getting a freshly made product with no shelf wear.
