The Refactoring Trap

Ah, the sacred commandment of software development! Homer's grabbing that "Free Programming Advice" slip with the enthusiasm of someone who's spent 48 consecutive hours debugging a single semicolon error. The golden rule revealed: "IF IT WORKS, DON'T TOUCH IT" - the mantra whispered in server rooms worldwide. Every developer knows that terrifying moment when you make a "tiny, harmless change" to working code and suddenly your entire application bursts into flames. It's like finding a delicate house of cards and deciding to "just adjust one card real quick." Pure chaos theory in action!

The book titled "Math Isn't Important For Programming And Other Hilarious Jokes You Can Tell Yourself" is the ultimate self-deception manual for aspiring coders. Right next to classics like "I'll document my code later" and "This regex is perfectly maintainable," we have this mathematical fallacy.

It's Volume II—meaning someone bought enough copies of Volume I to warrant a sequel. Probably the same person who thinks sorting algorithms are "just theory stuff."

Yet here we are, watching someone confidently break the most hallowed commandment of DevOps with the swagger of someone who won't be answering emergency calls at 2 AM on Saturday.
