If It Ain't Broke, Don't Update It

If It Ain't Broke, Don't Update It
Oh honey, the AUDACITY of those GPU manufacturers thinking I'll drop EVERYTHING to install their precious new drivers! 💅 I've cultivated a VERY special relationship with my current driver - we've been through thick and thin, crashes and all! And you expect me to REPLACE it for what? Some "performance improvements" and "bug fixes"? PLEASE! My update philosophy is simple: if my games aren't literally SCREAMING at me with error messages, that driver stays PUT. Call me when my screen's on fire, darling! 🔥

If It Works, Don't Touch It

If It Works, Don't Touch It
The sacred rule of programming: when something works, leave it alone . But no, we just had to add that fancy animation and refactor that "ugly" but functional code. Now production's down, Slack is blowing up, and management wants to know why the site looks like it was hit by a digital tornado. Next time, maybe we'll remember that "working" trumps "pretty" every single time. The bike was fine until we decided it needed racing stripes and a bell.

Hanging By A Thread But Still Working

Hanging By A Thread But Still Working
OH. MY. GOD. That traffic light is LITERALLY my codebase right now! Hanging by a thread, defying all laws of software engineering, yet somehow still signaling "STOP" like a boss! 💅 The absolute AUDACITY of that red light to keep functioning when it should have crashed and burned ages ago. It's giving "I wrote this at 3 AM fueled by energy drinks and spite" energy and I am LIVING for it! We've all been there - your code is held together with digital duct tape and prayers, but somehow it passes all the tests. Ship it, honey! If it works, DON'T TOUCH IT!

Don't Get Burned

Don't Get Burned
The sacred commandment of software development! Homer grabbing that "IF IT WORKS, DON'T TOUCH IT" advice slip with the desperation of someone who's broken production at least five times this sprint. The allure of "FREE PROGRAMMING ADVICE" quickly transforms into the cold, hard reality that refactoring working code is like performing heart surgery on a marathon runner mid-race. The true wisdom in our field isn't writing clever algorithms—it's knowing when to back away from the keyboard and let sleeping code lie.
