Sometimes you really wonder where your time went. You can spend 1 hour writing a perfect function and then the rest of the day figuring out why your import does work in dev and not in prod.

I also once butchered the result of 40 hours of work through a loose git history rewrite. I spent a good hour trying different recovery options (to no avail) and then 2 hours typing everything back in from memory. Maybe it turned out even better then before, because all kind of debugging clutter was removed.

Sometimes, I spend an hour writing a perfect function, and then spend another hour re-reading the beauty of it, just to be pointed out how imperfect the function is in the PR review :))
