Recently, my coworker basically asked if he should set a TTL on a password for a job we were running. We said yeah, but our code would need changes to accommodate it before it expired and we didn't have time to make them.

I joked that we'd make a JIRA ticket that we'd repeatedly deprioritize until our code mysteriously broke in 6 months, but then my coworker actually made an Outlook reminder for when we had a month left!

I thought that was really smart, so I guess I learned a lesson about actually solving problems instead of just pointing them out like a smart ass.
