If It Works, Don't Touch It

The only programming advice that's simultaneously the most valuable and the most terrifying. Nothing says "professional developer" quite like maintaining a codebase held together by digital duct tape and the collective fear of the entire engineering team. The unspoken rule of software development isn't about elegant architecture or clean code—it's about the sacred art of not messing with that one function nobody understands but somehow makes everything work. That mysterious block of code is like a digital Jenga tower—touch the wrong piece and the whole sprint becomes a spectacular disaster. Technical debt? More like technical mortgage with predatory interest rates.

C++ Gives Me Too Much Power

The evolution of a C++ developer's brain when solving a simple problem. First, nested loops like a normal person. Second, condensed one-liners because who needs readability? Third, string manipulation because why not overcomplicate things? And finally, recursive lambda functions with variadic templates because you hate your code reviewers and future self. C++ doesn't just give you enough rope to hang yourself—it gives you an entire hardware store worth of options to do it with style.

Job Interview Question For Team Lead Position

This is basically the "Fox, Chicken, and Grain" logic puzzle repackaged as the ultimate management nightmare. Except instead of preventing your chicken from being eaten, you're preventing your team from murdering each other. The solution? Move the bore first, then the idiot, then bring the bore back, then move the asshole, and finally move the bore again. Though the real power move would be to just quit and find a company with functioning HR. And they say technical interviews are unrealistic...
