I think my IT guy hates me...

What do you mean? I already believe I do magic. Granted, I'm not IT, I'm a dev, but I literally type words and runes and the lives of thousands of people change.

The customer will call me and say "I need to do this, I have this problem, help" and I either say "it will be done" or I tell her to go through a series of arcane actions, maybe asking for strange sequences of actions or ask for special numbers I leave around that mean nothing to anyone aside from me and my coworker

I literally sometimes say "this feels fucky, can you restart X or Y for me?" And my team lead is just like yeah, ok, that makes no sense let's try it. And vise versa

You have no idea how superstitious you get as a senior dev. And it works. It's just better and faster to accept rituals that work than to dig into every problem
