I do all this work to make an elegant solution to, frankly, a dumb requirement. And a newer dumber requirement comes out that requires someone to modify my solution. Normally not a problem. But this is a backend solution given to a frontend developer to modify. I told them how my solution works since it did 90% of what she needed. But instead, they reinvent the wheel and I have to fix it. I was supposed to be done with this 3 hours ago, but unraveling this knot is taking for fucking ever.
