Back in my early career, the company I worked for needed an inventory system tailored to their unique process flow. Such system was already in development and was scheduled to launch "soon".
A few months went by and I got fed up with the toil. Sat down one weekend and implemented the whole thing in Django. I'm no genius and I managed to have a solution that my team used for a few years until the company had theirs launched. In a weekend.
Amazing what you can do when you want to Get Shit Done!
