Trust But Verify (Or Drive Two Hours)

The eternal IT paradox: "Trust but verify" taken to its logical extreme. Poor Eric drove two hours just to press a power button that three people swore was already on. This is why we develop trust issues and insist on seeing error logs ourselves. Nothing quite builds character like a 4-hour round trip to flip a switch that takes 2 seconds. The server was probably running perfectly... in someone's imagination.

Nothing As Permanent As A Temporary Solution

The infamous "quick fix" that's been running in production for 7 years. The duct tape solution that outlasted three CTOs. The "I'll refactor this next sprint" code that's now supporting your company's entire revenue stream. It's the programming equivalent of putting a book under that wobbly table leg and then forgetting about it until it becomes structural support. The irony is exquisite - our industry runs on "temporary" hacks that somehow survive nuclear apocalypses while meticulously architected systems get scrapped after six months.

The Programmer's Emotional Metronome

The eternal duality of a programmer's existence, captured in a single metronome. One moment you're solving impossible bugs and feeling like you've harnessed the secrets of the universe. The next? Your code inexplicably breaks and suddenly you're questioning every life choice that led to this career. The metronome never stops swinging between these extremes - there is no middle ground in software development, only the oscillation between godlike omnipotence and catastrophic self-doubt. It's basically bipolar disorder with a compiler.

Same But Different (But More Expensive)

Why fix what's broken when you can just throw it away and build it again from scratch in Rust? Developers turning their noses up at the sensible option of refactoring existing code because the siren call of rewriting everything in a shiny new language is just too tempting. Sure, it'll take 6 months longer, introduce 47 new bugs, and the business stakeholders will be pulling their hair out, but hey—at least you'll get to tell everyone at meetups that you're "memory safe" now.
