For the fans: Mr. Robot s02e04 came out today! Have fun watching.

Coolest project: I once worked for a customer who hosted an exhibition for a few thousand visitors in a big event arena in Stockholm.
They didn't want to use the existing ticket reading system on the arena so I had to build my own application compatible with barcode scanners (they said this about one week before the event).
It wasn't a complicated application to dev but with the tight deadline and no time to actually stress test it, it was the coolest thing to see hundreds of people streaming through the ticket station flawlessly.
Day 2 of the event I built a simple web application so I could see the flow rate of read tickets while I sat in the arena pub with a beer.6 -

When you spend hours figuring out where the bug is, with no luck, and then you wake up in the middle of the night knowing exactly what and how to fix...3

Sharing a project with someone that still uses Visual Studio 2005 and refuses to upgrade to the same as everyone else, meaning the first hour or 2 looking at their work on your own machine consists of fixing bugs that prevent it from building4

When you spend more time renaming variables, class names, properties etc.. to achieve perfect code and patterns rather than actually solving the problem. I'm bored now...
