That rare moment when you write clean beautiful code and you just stare at it for a few minutes

And then you realize you don't need it so you delete it

"I made this..."

Love of my life

Then it fails to compile :(

Then your PM tells you to make a last minute change, and you realise that you have to hack it in and ruin whatever you created and contemplate either murdering your PM and hiding the body or quitting your job, but then you realise that you don't have a choice and you hack it in, release it and jump off the highest building you can find.

@vinaysshenoy I love when this happens because it's always presented as, "it's just a new check box on the page" or its just a new validation rule in rules engine...if only it was just that...

@snypenet :D

Oh yes! This usually happens when you start out a new project and you still have all the time in the world! Good times... Good times.
