    You've just realised that the cool feature you spent the last 4hrs implementing has already been implemented. By you. And in a neater manner than the code you'd just written. I can just imagine me-from-a-few-months-back standing behind me, hand raised, about to clip me over the ear. I'd deserve it.

      Or when you write a piece of code and it doesn't do what you intended and realize that you had wrote the same crap in the past?

        Early onset of Alzheimer's, perhaps? :-D Seriously, yes I hate it when that happens, and I think most of us have been there once or twice.

          I guess it really is time to reimplement tasks. :)

            Reminds me of the Futurama episode where the professor decides to invent the Smelloscope, only to realize he invented one the previous year :laugh:

              Don't you just hate this smartass - you from the past? I even had a case when I was not able to understand how my old code works. :sigh:

                  I suggest early on Old-timers disease (Alzheimers) Conveniently that now leads me to point you to an Insider News post from Kent (thanks kent, you provided some ammo to fire your boss's way - no bonus for you![^]) Prevent Alzheimer's Disease by drinking beer?[^] Now Maunder, we all know your sorry arsed history of skipping out on beers - as an ex medical professional I'd hazard an assessment that should you not have skipped out on those beers you'd not be in the current be-codgered state you are. i.e. its your own bloody fault coz you're a wowser :D Bryce

                    On the flip side, don't you love it when you get calls from support complaining that the product doesn't do something, and you get to tell them that it's been there right in front of them all along?

                      Literally just did exactly that - was so miffed with myself I came to CP to chill for a bit - saw this. Ah well, at least I'm not alone!
