I swore off using adhesive pads for window sensors after one fell off in a storm.
It caused a false alarm that woke the whole neighborhood at 3 AM. Now I drill and screw every sensor into place, no matter what the customer says. My installation time went up a bit, but my reliability ratings shot through the roof. Trust me, taking the extra minute is a game changer.

People FORGET that reliable systems require solid foundations, not quick fixes.

Ever see those quick fixes blow up later? My friend kept patching his old database with band-aid code instead of rebuilding the tables properly, and @felix_wilson86 your post nails why that failed. For months it was fine, then one day a simple report query crashed the whole thing for hours. They had to rebuild from scratch anyway, but after losing a ton of data from the crash. All that time saved early on just made a way bigger mess.
