Welcome to the Bike Shedding Simulator, where we celebrate the fine art of over-discussing the trivial while the important stuff gathers dust!
Bike shedding, also known as Parkinson's Law of Triviality, is the phenomenon where people spend disproportionate time on trivial issues while neglecting more important matters. It's named after the anecdote where a committee approves a nuclear power plant design in minutes but spends hours debating the color of the staff bike shed.
In software engineering, we've elevated bike shedding to an art form. Why bother trying to fix that bug that's been giving your team headaches for weeks when you can spend days arguing about the right way to name a variable?
It's guaranteed to derail any productive conversation for at least an hour!
Remember, the next time you find yourself in a heated debate about whether to use ‘config’ or ‘settings’ for configuration files, you're not wasting time – you're participating in a time-honored software engineering tradition!
