Falsehoods programmers believe about time is an oldie, but I still find it hilarious.

Got an anti-fatigue mat for my standing desk time at work - made a surprisingly huge difference in my ability to work standing up. I can churn out a couple of hours per day without much issues now, where before I had sore feet after 2-ish hours.
