No, seriously, that's exactly what it's like. See the "bug at 3 am" pic? I've been there. More than once.

Now that was funny!

The workin on a Friday, broken on a Monday thing?

That's why we never deploy on Fridays.

Heck yeah.. in fact, I used to write a column called "The 3am Programmer" for an Australian C64 magazine.

I particularly liked the 'When you develop without specifications' one

We always used to refer to bits of code as 'Friday Afternoon Code' back when I was an actual programmer for a living.
No idea how it was supposed to work, and no idea why you thought it would work anyway.

Not heard that one before, but make sense.

I thought this so I decided to go back to basics and learnt some assembler for fun. Quickly decided I'd rather write fiction as my pastime.

Don't you mean your "pasta-time"?

Done the database one. Forgot to put a LIMIT 1 at the end of the SQL query.

When something that worked on Friday doesn't work on Monday
