The Selective Optimization Syndrome

The duality of programmer perfectionism is a beautiful thing to behold.

Meanwhile, bottom left: the actual code you're paid to write has security so weak it might as well be a "Please Don't Hack Me" sticky note. Password literally hardcoded as "Password"? *chef's kiss* Bottom right: villain from a silent film declaring "MY JOB HERE IS DONE" because hey, it compiles and passes that one test you wrote! The optimization is clearly happening in all the wrong places. But the code runs in production, so... ship it!
