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.

Stop Selling We Already Bought It

The classic corporate bait and switch. Management (excited German Shepherd) buys some shiny new dev tool after a slick demo, while the developer (unimpressed cat) sits through what was promised as a "tutorial" but is actually just 45 minutes of marketing fluff about features they'll never implement. The cat's dead-inside expression perfectly captures that moment when you realize you've wasted an hour of your life watching someone click through pre-built examples while explaining absolutely nothing of technical value.

Who The Hell Are These Serialization Formats?

JSON looking at alternative serialization formats like they're aliens from another dimension is peak developer humor. While JSON has become the undisputed champion of data interchange, these other formats (Protocol Buffers, Thrift, Avro, and Ion) are actually powerful alternatives with better performance and schema validation. But let's be honest - most of us just keep defaulting to JSON because it's everywhere. We'll research these alternatives for that "high-performance microservice architecture," add them to our "things to learn" Trello board, and then immediately go back to JSON.stringify() and call it a day.
