    A few weeks ago, on Monday morning, I was looking through a PR I was working on and decided to make a ticket to write a new function that would be super useful for my current work. I then leave for meetings for the day, then come back in the afternoon and find some time to write some code, and lo and behold, I see exactly the function I wanted was already written. I wrote it at 4:00 on Friday, docstring and everything, 72 hours before I wrote a ticket to create the function. Until rereading it, I had no memory of writing it.

      Personal project a while ago. Had an idea in my head that I needed to rewrite using a particular language feature but had been putting it off because I couldn’t quite wrap my head around the implementation details.

      Eventually decide to sit down and plug away at it. Find the code already uses the language feature.

      I had either written it with that language feature in the first place or had been back at some time I don’t remember and done the work I didn’t think I was capable of doing.

      I could still be convinced that it was done by pixies or the whatever might be the programming equivalent of shoemaker elves.

    On Friday, wrote some new helper code for the templates we use for development because I did a search of the code and couldn’t any such code there. Wasted 20mins writing it

    An hour later, found I wrote the functions but had simply put them in a different spot :/
