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.

When UI Bugs Reveal Your Age

Nothing ages you faster than remembering when scrollbars were chunky, reliable parts of the browser window that just sat there doing their job. Now we've got these fancy disappearing overlays that show up for 0.5 seconds before fading away like your hopes of maintaining backward compatibility. The real tragedy?

The Million Dollar API Key Giveaway

Congratulations! You've just launched a security breach disguised as an AI startup! The "yellow line" isn't a bug—it's your IDE screaming in terror because you've hardcoded API keys directly in your source code. Nothing says "professional developer" like publishing your AWS, Supabase, OpenAI, and custom API credentials to the entire internet. Those aren't just strings—they're golden tickets to your infrastructure that now belong to everyone with an internet connection. Pro tip: when speedrunning bankruptcy, this is definitely the optimal strategy!
