My Teacher Always Says: Do Your Project With Knowledge That Your User Is Stupid

Developer: "Tea bags are so intuitive they don't need instructions."

End user: *dunks entire tea bag, wrapper and all, into hot water*

And that's why we write documentation for even the most "obvious" features. Users will find ways to break your software that you couldn't imagine in your worst fever dreams. The line between intuitive and incomprehensible is thinner than your project deadline.

The Real Malware Was The Security Software We Installed Along The Way

The eternal irony of "antivirus" software that behaves suspiciously like the very thing it's supposed to protect you from. McAfee and Norton have evolved from useful security tools into resource-hogging subscription services that bombard you with popup notifications while slowing your system to a crawl. The "Change My Mind" meme format perfectly captures the hill many developers and IT professionals are willing to die on. And honestly, who hasn't experienced that moment when your CPU usage spikes to 99% because Norton decided NOW was the perfect time for a "quick scan"? The real malware was inside your computer all along—you just paid for it voluntarily.
