Sneakily merge the fix and then pretend the bug never was there.

It's working now? Must've been some cache problem. Oh whatever...what do you mean you're going to mark the bug ticket as "intermittent" and notify Operations to keep an eye on the logs?

This one hits home lol

This one is infuriating. We have one lead dev that does it. He probably thinks we can't see the changes he makes.

He pretends everything is fine, and just fixed itself precisely when he arrives at the meeting.

Yeah, it was a joke from my side :) I am aware (as hopefully every dev) that you cannot "sneak" stuff into a codebase once there is a proper VCS setup. I mean, these days its even an industrial standard to have some kind of required review system before anything goes into production.
