The last 5% of any project always kicks my ass.

@neauoire I'm officially entering that phase too. When you know you should stop the simulations, gather up the results and write the paper.

@neauoire The good news is, if you feel that your ass is getting kicked anywhere before that, you're probably doing something wrong, right?
Where I work, they've been in complete ass-kicked mode for years and they're barely 10% in, if I'm honest.

@neauoire That's 'cause it takes as long as the first 95%.

@neauoire for me, if anything last longer than a month it becomes unbearable...

@neauoire The first 5% and the last 5% are always the toughest for me. I can never seem to avoid it.

@neauoire I aspire to only work on stuff i can put out at 95% and call it experimental. Also, I'm an agency software person now, I have yet to see 100% in this job. If something goes out at 95% it's a good day.

@neauoire yeah my experience is:

- the first 90% takes 90% of the work
- the last 10% takes the other 90% of the work
