• “We’ll just cache it”
• “We’ll add the retry later”
• “The timestamp will tell us the order of events”

• “We’ll duplicate this field, it’s just one field”
• “Disk is basically reliable”
• “We’ll use the filesystem as a database”
• “We’ll bump the timeout”
• “Users won’t put weird stuff in that field”
• “It works on my machine”
• “We don’t need backups, we have RAID”
• “That ID will fit in an int”
• “It’s an internal service, we don’t need auth”
• “We’ll roll our own (crypto, date math, URL parsing)”
• “O(n²) is fine, n is small”
