Unless You Work With Aeroplanes Or Something
The classic developer mantra: "Nobody is going to die if you write bad software" paired with "Faking it till you make it should probably be fine" and a dead platypus in the middle. The perfect encapsulation of that voice in your head justifying why it's OK to push untested code to production on a Friday afternoon. Just remember, somewhere an aviation software engineer is reading this and having a panic attack.

Copy-Paste Driven Development
Education: "Plagiarism is unacceptable!" Programmers: "I found this on Stack Overflow" = "I have achieved innovation." The sacred ritual of copying code and pretending you didn't is basically the unofficial programmer handshake. Your professor would fail you for copying an essay, but your tech lead will silently judge you for not stealing that sorting algorithm. Why reinvent the wheel when someone else's wheel has 457 upvotes and works in production?

Spent Years Learning Not To Copy Then Got Paid To Copy
THE AUDACITY! Spend your ENTIRE ACADEMIC CAREER having "copying is unacceptable" drilled into your skull, only to enter the workforce where programmers are literally PROUD of stealing code! 💅 That moment when one dev confesses "Bro, I copied your code" and the other just shrugs "It's not my code" is the ULTIMATE BETRAYAL of everything education promised! Meanwhile, StackOverflow and GitHub exist SOLELY so we can copy each other's solutions without having to think! The education system LIED TO US! Welcome to professional programming, where "copying" magically transforms into "code reuse" and "leveraging existing solutions" the second you get that paycheck! DRAMATIC GASP!

The shocking moment when you realize your colleagues aren't just referencing Stack Overflow—they're straight-up copying entire blocks of code. And here you thought "I found this solution online" was just a professional way of saying "I'm competent." Next you'll discover they don't actually read documentation either.
