Especially when you are working under a non-technical project manager :/

They:Why didn't you come up with this solution 2 years ago?

why programmers like cooking: you peel the carrot, you chop the carrot, you put the carrot in the stew. You don't suddenly find out that your peeler is several versions behind and they dropped support for carrots in 4.3
