    Ah yes, the project that nobody asked for, and it has to be worth it because you still have your actual assigned work to hack.

    I remember that feeling of not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel while having invested multiple days into a side quest that my boss never asked for (but would ultimately make me, or the team, more productive). I remember being more junior in my career and fighting that devil on my shoulder as it’s saying, “it’s turned into spaghetti! Just abandon it and get back to your deadlines before you go too far!”
