Presses F5 Repeatedly
The eternal battle between Squidward (the seasoned developer) and Patrick (the well-meaning but clueless colleague) strikes again! For the uninitiated, F5 is the refresh key - the one frontend developers slam repeatedly while testing changes, hoping their CSS will finally cooperate. The joke brilliantly plays on the double meaning: being a "frontend developer" doesn't actually mean you're afraid of page loads (refreshes)... but let's be honest, after the 47th refresh when your div still won't center, maybe we are all a little F5-phobic. SpongeBob's panic is every senior dev watching junior devs confidently explain concepts they clearly don't understand during standup. "STOP IT PATRICK, YOU'RE SCARING HIM!" is basically code for "please stop talking before the client realizes we have no idea what we're doing."

Please Just Go Away
The universal debugging strategy that's been passed down through generations of developers. Why waste time understanding the root cause when you can just hit refresh and pray to the coding gods? Sometimes the bug actually disappears, reinforcing this terrible habit for another decade. It's like checking if the fridge light is still broken by opening and closing the door 47 times.

It Can't Be That Easy
That moment when you've been manually refreshing the page for 8 hours straight, squinting at console logs, and questioning your career choices... only to realize you never pressed the magic "refresh debugger" button. The browser's been showing you the same broken code all day while you slowly lose your sanity. Pro tip: before throwing your laptop out the window, try Ctrl+F5 first.
