I love this scene. Taught me what "yak shaving" is and helps me explain it to other people.
Yak shaving?
Starting with a simple idea that could theoretically be completed by a simple task, but as you implement it, reality complicates and sends you off on many deviations from the original straight and narrow path.
Yak shaving could be required and unknown at the beginning, or it could be a lack of discipline leading to scope creep - often it's both
The famous Malcolm in the middle scene for ref: https://youtu.be/AbSehcT19u0?si=Pchmbf3509l1CbeQ - but the term was originally coined from elsewhere: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/yak_shaving
Oh no, I got the meaning of the idiom from context. I was asking about the actual phrase Yak shaving. Where did that part come from? So thanks for the second link. Not quite as interesting as I was hoping.
The real lesson here is don't re-invent the wheel. There are plenty of companies that have fully fleshed out auth/login solutions for you already. I never cease to be amazed with how many companies insist on building shit that already exists and come up with an obviously far shittier implementation.
Should have been "Hal, did you center the div?"
Also, Hal shoulda just used an UI library!
