The consolation is that it is always much quicker to build the second of something than it is to build the first one, because you know exactly how to do it. I like to say that I could have done my PhD thesis in 3 months rather than 5 years if I had to do it all over again... Of course it's actually figuring out what to do that is the real work, not the doing. ;-)
