If It Works, Don't Touch It

The sacred rule of programming: when something works, leave it alone. But no, we just had to add that fancy animation and refactor that "ugly" but functional code. Now production's down, Slack is blowing up, and management wants to know why the site looks like it was hit by a digital tornado. Next time, maybe we'll remember that "working" trumps "pretty" every single time. The bike was fine until we decided it needed racing stripes and a bell.

True Happiness Is Measured In Closed Tabs

Who needs relationship dopamine when you can experience the pure ecstasy of closing 100 Chrome tabs after a 14-hour debugging marathon? That moment when you've finally conquered that elusive bug that had you questioning your career choices, and you get to perform the sacred ritual of tab cleansing... It's basically the programmer's equivalent of crossing the finish line at the Olympics, except your medal is just more RAM and the ability to hear your laptop fan stop screaming.
