This happens so many times. I'm a pretty firm believer in walking away for 15 minutes is a crucial part of the debugging process. It's just hard sometimes to know when to stop and stop trying shit for a bit.
Also rubber duck debugging, I'll talk to my dog but fuck it works so many times. Shes helpful.
I used to talk to the graphic designer next to me. I work from home now, so my wife gets to play the role 24/7.
And then you fix the bug, test and it and it still doesn’t work and it turns out you weren’t even calling the function in the first place. I’ve had that happen several times.
writes ten lines of code.
has abug in line 255.
ah yes code very much
No no, 10 base 512 lines of code
And when you're wide awake you notice it was a dream, and there's no "behave" statement in python.
You must tame the python instead
How are you sleeping after ten lines of co… oh it says coding
If you know the line number, the bug is 99% solved
But some times function's whole design is wrong
My zombie brain is my pair programmer. This happens to me so frequently that it no longer surprises me and I now chill and let my sub conscious work it out.
Code a bit, think a lot, code some more, sleep on it, get a really good idea in the shower…
Remember to take care of yourself. Just because you have an idea doesn't mean you have to test it right this second. You need breaks.
Yeah, write it down and continue sleeping.
This is me almost every morning around 5am… 😭
Literally me 7 hours ago

This is why I leave a couple of hours break between coding and going to bed. If I don't I may well sleep but my dreams are full of repeating code that I don't wake up rested. Any "insights" from the dreams are usually wrong as well ☹️
I fucked off work right hours ago and I know I'm gonna dream about bootloaders
this has happened to me after I spent weeks trying to fix a small thing it made me scream
As a programmer with ADHD… 100% yes.
