One client has a whole solution from me and occasionally keeps asking for this or that thing and I have to tell him what part of the app already does that because he can't keep track of all the things he's asked for already.

If I had the time, I'd use the benefit of hindsight to restructure the whole thing and hope it'd help his pea brain along, but as it is, I spent too long just adding features wherever he asked me to, without taking the time to question whether that makes sense.

Client: "Hey can we have feature X?"

You (internally): I already implemented that last year for you...

You: "Sure!" makes button more obvious, bills 15h of work

It's an internal client, same department, so there's no billing.

If I could, I would.

You haven't seen it because you never refresh.
