The One Minute Bug Fix Myth

The greatest lie in software development isn't "it's done" or "we're agile" – it's "this bug should be easy to fix." What starts as a quick morning task somehow warps the fabric of spacetime until you're staring at your screen 14 hours later, surrounded by StackOverflow tabs and questioning every life decision that led you here. The confident 9AM developer and the broken 11PM shell of a human are practically different species. Pro tip: whenever you think a bug will take "one minute" to fix, multiply by 60... then convert to days.
