Yeah the part about avoiding late-night coding sessions is so real. My friend Chris used to code until like 3 AM every night and his work was full of dumb bugs. Then he got one of those sleep apps and made a rule to stop at 10 PM no matter what. He said his code got way better because he'd spot errors faster in the morning with a clear head.

Set a calendar reminder for those quick check-in calls.

Metal bins work better than plastic if you can get them. Those little jerks chew right through thick plastic. Toss some baking soda in the bottom before you add new feed, helps keep it dry.

Seriously, that wrench story makes me wonder about the reverse process too. Do you suppose tool companies actually watch for these common misuses and then design new tools around them? Like maybe the first dedicated gasket scraper existed because enough people ruined screwdrivers doing it.
