inIdk, my app's light blue on dark blue might not be accessible
Have you ever actually run those shades through a contrast checker? What looks fine on your screen in a bright room can totally disappear for someone else. It's not just about vision issues either, screens and lighting vary a lot. Skipping that check seems like a fast way to make your app unusable for some people.

inRant: The time a 'quick weld' turned into a full day chasing a ghost leak
Oh man, "five minute job" are the three most dangerous words in the shop. I once spent a whole afternoon trying to fix a stripped drain plug hole that was "just a quick helicoil." Ended up having to re-tap it twice and then chase a thread leak... that whole day just vanished.

inI finally tried that trick with the dental floss for pulling wire bundles through tight spots
Ever see someone use a cheap telescoping magnet to fish wires? My buddy was working on a King Air panel and dropped a tiny screw into the avionics bay abyss. He grabbed one of those extendable magnets from a gas station, taped a piece of drinking straw to the tip to make it longer and skinnier, and fished that screw right out from behind a bundle.
