hate coded 

When you're in a hurry to solve a programming problem, and your solution results in a shittiest-rushed-even-yo-mama-would-be-embarrassed-of-you-algorithm, but it get the damn job done.
I was solving day 3 of the Advent of Code, and I hate coded the worst fucking solution! I'm not proud of it, but it worked.

hate coded and optimized 

You "hate coded", BUT you went backed, and fixed the solution with better code (examples: more elegant algorithm, efficient use of memory, better performance, better use of data structures, easier to read and/or maintain, added comments, added unit testing, etc)
