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.

The Sacred Law Of Loop Variables

Listen, when someone questions why you use i and j for loop counters, there's only one valid response: IT'S THE LAW. It's like asking why we drink coffee or hate meetings that could've been emails. Some traditions in programming aren't meant to be questioned—they're sacred knowledge passed down from the ancient CS gods. Using foo and bar as placeholder names, tabs vs spaces, and i , j , k for nested loops... these are the unwritten commandments that separate the true believers from the heretics. Sure, you could use descriptive variable names like index or counter , but then your fellow devs might think you're some kind of revolutionary anarchist. And nobody wants that kind of reputation in the office.
