The sad part is feeling so happy yet having no one to really share it with, because most likely you were working alone to solve the issue and when you explain the whole thing it sounds so silly... like trying to explain how funny a joke you made was. "I guess you had to be there".

And the opposite where it was something so stupid you're embarrassed to tell anyone it took so long to solve. The 30hr ticket with a 1 line change.

😅 Mine ended up being only like 50 lines or so total. Complex, pervasive, data coupling with security concerns and my own ignorance were the primary drivers for the time taken on this one.

We have been doing some new pair work processes to expand group capabilities (and to train up some juniors) so I am happy to report that I got to share this with two whole people.
