Content Coworker: so how did you solve the bug? Me: Ostrich algorithm From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In computer science, the ostrich algorithm is a strategy of ignoring potential problems on the basis that they may be exceedingly rare. It is named for the ostrich effect which is defined as "to stick one's head in the sand and pretend there is no problem". It is used when it is more cost-effective to allow the problem to occur than to attempt its prevention.

Ah, the classic refactoring fantasy vs reality! You start with spaghetti code (literally), dream of transforming it into this beautiful, organized spider web of elegant architecture... but end up with slightly different spaghetti that's maybe 2% better. It's like promising yourself you'll clean your entire room but just moving the pile of clothes from the chair to the bed. The refactoring illusion claims another victim! At least you can tell your team you "improved the codebase" while they squint really hard trying to spot the difference.
