If It Works, Don't Touch It

When you see "FREE PROGRAMMING ADVICE" you get excited, only to discover it's just "IF IT WORKS, DON'T TOUCH IT" - the universal law of production code that's saved more careers than version control. That feeling when your perfectly functioning spaghetti code is held together by duct tape and prayers, but the client is happy so you slowly back away from the keyboard. The first rule of legacy systems: nobody talks about refactoring legacy systems.

Don't Actually Do This

Ah yes, the classic "fix" that fixes nothing. Committing your .env file to Git is like putting your house keys under the welcome mat and posting the address on Twitter. Sure, your code errors are gone... along with your database credentials, API keys, and whatever shred of respect your senior dev had for you. But hey, ship it.

Nothing quite captures that first production deployment like a puppy discovering mirrors. One minute you're admiring your beautiful code that passed all the tests, and the next you're frantically checking logs at 2AM wondering how your elegant solution is somehow bringing down the entire system. That moment when you realize the safety net of code reviews was actually more like a suggestion, and now your name is forever attached to that incident report. Welcome to the club, kid. We've all been there—staring at our reflections, questioning our career choices.
