You know that sacred ritual where you spend the first 15 minutes of debugging just absolutely roasting the previous developer's code? "Who wrote this garbage? What kind of monster would nest ternary operators inside a switch statement?!" Only to git blame it and discover... it was you. Three months ago. At 2 PM on a Tuesday when you were perfectly sober and well-rested.

Turns out software engineers and electricians share the exact same professional protocol: mandatory trash-talking of whoever touched the code/wiring last before you're legally allowed to actually solve the problem. It's not procrastination, it's process. The electricians just formalized it into a guild rule, while we pretend it's part of "code review culture."
