When your company uses an awesome online software and your bosses want you to rebuild it internally to save money.

Me "OK, but, product A had a team of engineers and probably took a year to build."

Them: "well, they have the bugs worked out then. Shouldn't take you as long. Just copy what they did."

Faulty logic on your bosses part in my opinion.

@matutter4 they typically want stuff like this in a couple weeks, but my job isn't 100% coding even, and it wouldn't be my only project.

The guy that usually wants these things only comes to the office 1-2x a week. He usually forgets the deadlines because other projects come up and take priority. When he gets around to asking what I've been working on, I present him lists and he disappears for a few days.

But, rebuilding Google analytics, vwo.com and a crm are on my list of to-dos.

@MadHatrix at least you're going to have a hell of a portfolio after all this
