The Observer Effect

When faced with actual work, the programmer's brain immediately activates its highest priority function: procrastination.exe . Nothing says "I'm being productive" quite like spending four hours restructuring code that already works while your actual tasks multiply in the background. The refactoring rabbit hole—where deadlines go to die and meetings get mysteriously "forgotten." The beautiful irony is that we genuinely convince ourselves it's necessary work. "I can't possibly fix those bugs until I've rewritten this entire class using the latest design pattern I read about 20 minutes ago!"

Nothing says "national security" like pushing straight to production. The Department of Defense apparently skipped the staging environment and decided to test their website updates right where everyone can see them. That random string of "asfasfasdfasf" at the bottom is the digital equivalent of a nuclear launch code that reads "12345." And they've dated it December 2024 - either someone's testing time travel or they've got the most aggressive sprint planning I've ever seen. Next time your PM complains about your code, just remind them that even people with actual missiles are out here keyboard-mashing in production.
