Got a part change request from the mold maker that looked really simple until I remembered how I built the part in CAD. Thought it would take days to fix. Change one number in the very first feature in the tree, redefine the only plane that broke, and somehow it just works^TM^. It was like 10 minutes worth of work. It will probably take me twice that time to show the product manager to get him to sign off on the visual change it causes. And I probably have 15 minutes of fixing drawings.
That's always the best feeling. I was building a messaging app once for a college project, and I couldn't get it to work at all. Took it to my instructor after class, explained the issue, and explained all my ideas/attempts to fix it.
He booted the application up on his machine, and it worked first try. Somehow, from that point on, it was working, and I still have no idea how. My only guess is that it was some kind of caching issue.
