I ran into this when I was thinking about buying some Doc Martens recently. I know there have been other examples, that’s just the most recent I can remember.

Damn, I’ve been singing their praises for years…but I haven’t actually bought a new pair in ages

I’ll get right on that, as soon as I wrap up these 3 defects

Hi it’s me, your colleague

My first thought was “didn’t we already have a Scarlet Witch” movie? Then I realized that was actually a Dr. Strange movie.

I had free laundry for most of my freshman year of college. We had coin operated machines, and somebody quickly figured out that you can strip 2 wires and just touch them together, or touch a coin to both of them, and every time you did that the machine would think a coin had been inserted. Eventually the college caught on and one day I went down there and all the machines were taken apart with maintenance guys working on them, and after that there was a heavy duty housing for the coin acceptor with no exposed wires. It was nice while it lasted!

Code monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew.

I try to write documentation/instructions for dummies, because often, I’m the dummy when I have to dig back into the code again after not touching or thinking about it in months or years.

The worst part about Bitbucket is the horrible, godawful, practically useless search

Let’s not look a gift Git horse in the mouth.

FTFY

What if you want to be at the spot where you actually clicked the mouse?

F12 opens dev tools in most browsers, so I use that one all the time.

Well now I wish I had thought of this for my wedding

Sorry to break this to you…but this won’t be the last time that happens. In fact, it’ll probably happen on more projects than not.
