Same, but with code: It's ugly and probably inefficient, but it was hard and took forever to get working at all.

Great job! Now that you took days to produce the latest figures, can you change them completely in order to match this other figure our colleague haphazardly made because reasons?
Careful - if you actually do it you could be fired. Then again, if you don't you could also be fired. Bosses are "responsible", not necessarily "knowledgeable". 😔
Been there
Moments after finding your hideous, inefficient, working solution... You suddenly understand the problem properly. There's a built in class method that solves the problem already.
Had a 3 page paper I had to write, ended up being just over 14 pages, 16 after the footnotes were added.
I had to completely rewrite it because I knew my prof wasn't going to read that paper, but when I turned in the assignment I turned in both of them.
Just did exactly that in a recently accepted paper. A comments from a reviewer made us notice that a certain phenomenon was greatly exaggerated by low-res theoretical calculations and that it actually was barely noticeable. I just added "weakly" to the paragraph describing that phenomenon. Won't delete shit.
“Murder your darlings” as they say in writing.
I keep particularly well-researched and well-worded paragraphs in a LaTeX document on Overleaf. It's kind of like the research version of skinny jeans. I know I'll never wear them again, but it hurts too much to throw them out.

Is that some of that "unconditional love" I see there?
