One of the best disappointments i get is when i create something from scratch, feeling good because i accomplished what i needed and then i find that there is a module that does this in 3 lines.

*does it in 3 lines by importing a doitall mcguffin module that depends on 20 others

I remember doing this project at my last internship where we had to control a Chinese smart WiFi connected led lamp.

A week of reverse engineering with wire shark and mitm 'attacks' and we got it working.

An other intern came to us and showed us a ready to use gitlab repo for this 🤣
