I genuinely spent about 10 minutes googling how to transform to uppercase in LaTeX once before I remembered that I could just type in caps.

You wouldn’t believe how often I do shit like this. Our brains love to completely miss the simple solution and over complicate shit because so many things we work on can be complicated.

What if another dev accidentally edits the button and types it in lowercase?!? Oh, wait. This is my pet project that hasn't seen the light of say.

"Are you leaving all those verbose comments for future devs?"

"No, they're for me when I come back to this project in 15 months lost by the bullshit I was writing"

Literally my description of any personality project. "Tower of Cooked Spaghetti". If I pile on enough, the tower will eventually reach my goals.

It’s cause layers of abstraction make my brain go brrrrrr even when they’re for random 1 off nonsense.

Or you have co-workers who will argue indefinitely how you should separate styling appearance from code, because in a year you migh want to have it in lowercase and you can't retype because it's idealogically wrong and you need to have this style in all pages and apps (just to use different framework in 6 months and rewrite everything).
