Did you ever have that feeling of "what the fuck - how did I do THAT" - I just had one; I was fine with the algorithm taking like 15/25 minutes to fetch, process, save all data, now it shreds through 10 times of the previous amount in like 7 minutes.

    I know exactly what you mean. In high school I optimized a project euler solution from 24 hours to 5 minutes. Feels great putting your brain to use in such a tangible way.

    That moment you find your recreating objects in loops when you don't need to. And the process take 30 minutes less to process all because logical error. Ya I know that feeling.

    Oh yes, squelched a big and complex SQL query to be run in under 100ms instead of 20 secs it took before.. you should have seen my coworkers faces, they almost didn't believed it and have double checked several times if the result is really the same 😎
