I was about to head to a summer festival on the countryside with friends (I was the driver), all things packed, everyone was waiting for me, but my work still wasn't finished. I promised to commit my code by next morning.
I needed to take a longer break to refresh my mind anyway, so I thought I will finish it when we get there using my mobile hotspot. By the time of arrival, the sun was about to rise, I had like 2 hours left. Then the surprise, there was no signal...
Quickly ran back to my car with the laptop and all and drove back on dirt roads like 6km constantly checking the signal, then finally parked next to a cropland in the middle of nowhere to have sufficient bars for a stable database connection.
It started to get reeeally hot in the car (surely above 35 degrees celsius), I had no AC, so pulled the windows, which in turn allowed all the bugs and critters of nature to fly through the car as they pleased :D
But the story has a happy end: finished my work on the backend and commited my code just in time.
