For me:

Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you work, your going to get laid off either way.
Just showing up can sometimes make the difference.
Your not paid to be a software developer. Your being paid to be a problem solver.

So you're saying that as long as the bare wires are soaked in liquid nitrogen, they're fine to touch!
