Walked into a coffee shop in Portland and saw the barista debugging her own order system with sticky notes on the wall
She had this whole flowchart taped up behind the counter with little arrows and corrections. Made me realize even non-coders use logic like if/then statements every day. Ever spot someone using basic programming logic without knowing it?

Yeah that sticky note system is basically production code for your own life. I love when people figure out problem solving without even realizing they're doing logic.

Nodded along reading this because I do the exact same thing with my morning coffee routine. I've got a sticky note on my fridge that says "if alarm snoozed more than twice then skip shower." It's literally an if/then statement and I wrote it at 2 AM when I was half awake. The scary part is it actually works better than most of my attempts at actual programming logic. Makes you wonder how many everyday life hacks are just poorly documented code we write for ourselves.
