What made it a ticking time bomb?

Sounds like the wiring turns into a pile of black dust if you breathe on it too hard. Makes you wonder how the house hasn't burned down yet. Just another day in a century-old home.

Honestly, that sticky note trick is genius. But what happens if you do end up grabbing your phone by mistake? Do you just put it down right away?

Totally! I'm with @willowp75 on this one. That moment you finally fix a weird bug is when the concept really locks in for me, way more than just copying code.

But isn't that just making a simple thing way too fussy? I mean, it's coffee. You boil water, you pour it over grounds. Having a thermometer on hand for your daily cup sounds like a hassle. I get that taste matters, but at some point you're just chasing tiny details most people won't even notice. Seems like it turns a calm morning ritual into a science project.
