Do It The Programmer Way

The programmer's paradox in all its glory! This is the hill we die on - spending 5 hours writing a script to automate a 5-minute task, then celebrating like we've discovered time travel. The best part? We'll probably never need to do that task again, making our automation masterpiece completely useless. But hey, it's not about efficiency—it's about the principle of never doing manually what could be catastrophically over-engineered instead. This is the way.

Code A Bit In Java

Started the day feeling optimistic about Java. "I love this language! Why all the hate?" Fast forward 20 minutes: "Let me just code for a bit." Two hours later, I'm staring at 47 AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBeans and contemplating a career in goat farming.

Technical Debt

When your PM asks you to explain technical debt like they're six, you pull out the Haggis story. Dude's got a hole in his roof but won't fix it when it's raining because it's too wet, and won't fix it when it's sunny because, well, there's no leak. Classic. That's your codebase right there. The bug isn't critical enough to fix during the sprint because everyone's busy shipping features, and when you finally have downtime, management says "if it ain't broke, don't touch it." Meanwhile, the hole gets bigger, the roof starts sagging, and eventually you're debugging a production incident at 2 AM wondering how a simple auth service turned into a distributed systems nightmare. The "Translate from French" button really seals the deal—because apparently technical debt is so universal it transcends language barriers. Haggis speaks to us all.
