Finally, I seem to be making some headway into graph drawing.

Call me old fashioned for working on compiler technologies. But recently, I was interested in displaying a parse tree generated by a parser that I am writing. For several weeks I read some well-known papers on tree layout, then implemented the algorithms described in these papers. To my chagrin, this took a lot longer than I expected. Am I losing it as a software engineer?
