Add some design patterns! What could possibly go wrong? Turns out: everything. That innocent refactoring session just unleashed 258 bugs from the depths of hell. Suddenly your perfectly functional code is now a dumpster fire, and you're sitting there wondering if you should update your LinkedIn or just fake your own death. The real tragedy? We never learn. Next week, when the code is working again, guess what we'll do? Yep, refactor it. It's like we're addicted to self-sabotage. Someone should start a support group: "Refactorers Anonymous."
