When a coworker tries to get me to use a tool that takes a few minutes to set up but also makes everyone’s job easier for all time

Content Me when the problem is still there but atleast I get a different error message this time

That moment when your code finally works and you stare at your screen in disbelief, hand on forehead, mouth agape! Whether you're winning a Nobel Prize or just fixing that one stubborn bug that's been haunting you for days, the facial expression is IDENTICAL. The universal "wait, it actually worked?!" face that every developer knows too well. We spend hours hunting down that missing semicolon only to react with complete shock when everything suddenly compiles. Pure debugging ecstasy!

OMG, it's the ULTIMATE developer battle cry! 💀 "Deploy First, Pray Later" - because who needs testing when you have BLIND FAITH and ENERGY DRINKS?! The cute little praying bunny is all of us at 4:57 PM on Friday when someone says "let's push to production!" Meanwhile, that subtitle "god abandoned this pipeline long ago" is the tragic reality check your CI/CD process desperately needed. Your deployment strategy shouldn't require divine intervention, but here we are... FRANTICALLY LIGHTING CANDLES while production burns!

The suspicious stare that says "I don't trust code that works on the first try." Ten years in the trenches teaches you that immediate success is the most terrifying outcome possible. No errors? No warnings? Something is definitely wrong. The universe doesn't just hand out compiler blessings like that without planning some catastrophic runtime surprise later. The real debugging starts after your code works perfectly. That's when you frantically add console logs everywhere because silent success is far more concerning than a stack trace that at least has the decency to tell you what you broke.
