As an engineer I can confirm it's indeed magic. Caffeine goes in, math comes out. So basically alchemy

It's crazy how efficient and creative an engineer can get once he's on a deadline and the stress sets in. I tried many times tackling a task the moment I got it but I just end up wasting time doing a subpar job just to redo it a few days before the deadline anyway.

It’s called iteration. I bet if you ONLY do it once few days before deadline the result would be subpar as well.
