@nixCraft , discovered my bug yesterday, so going to spend all day, and all weekend fixing it. Sadly, on my own time.
@soundconjurer @nixCraft noo, you should be able to have a weekend as well. And if you don't, you should at least be paid for it.

We discovered a production-critical bug today as well but I'll clock out at 5 and have my well-deserved weekend. We'll fix it on monday.
@perry @nixCraft , I understand that should all be true. However, if I don't solve this bug as soon as possible, I'll be nonstop thinking about it. I would usually never do this for other bugs, but this one is such a mystery to me, my mind has become obsessed with it. I spent all afternoon sitting with my laptop just stepping through the code and not seeing a single reason why it's happening. 🥲 I woke up consumed by it.
@soundconjurer @nixCraft maybe that's exactly a reason to take a step back? Like, go on walk, meet with friends, read something, whatever you like. Maybe it'll come to you, maybe it won't. But your mind works a lot better if you're fresh and recovered.
@perry @nixCraft , well, for many people, that would be very likely the solution. For me, I'll dissociate into a maladaptive daydream parsing the code in my head. Hyperfixations that fall into my special interests = inability to escape the task.
@soundconjurer @nixCraft hm, I understand. Just make sure to take care of yourself and take some breaks. And if you see an opportunity to distract yourself with something else over the weekend, seize it.
