Every time
(feddit.org)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
This.
Every time I think I've found a really clever, novel solution to a ultra specific graphics problem, someone else has already implemented it, usually much better than I'd have done, and was kind enough to put their code online for everyone to use.
DAMN ASSHOLES, being smart and kind, so I can't even feel cool for 4 minutes, before I fail at implementation. >:c
Don't worry. Future generations will have an opportunity to dive all these problems after AI destroys a whole generation of useful development along with all the repositories of prior research.
There will be a whole new class of historian and archivist dedicated to sniffing out slop.
