the worst thing about hyperfocus is that it doesn't guarantee success

it just means you hyperfocus on getting it wrong for a really, really long time

yes, this is about debugging

like, why can i not remember that a walk, a change of scene, even doing the washing up, helps solve the bug a million times more effectively than 'just focus harder for longer'

@clarebee right!?

it is the same way that a knife does not think to sharpen itself.

a system must exist to regularly sharpen the knife.

@falcennial i'm a blunt knife right now, 100%
@clarebee then I hope your walk is beautiful 🌻

I'm so glad to be getting out of the industry in less than 2 weeks.

I feel like it's the perfect time to end this chapter.

Not even looking for something else for a while.

@Anomnomnomaly oh niiiiice - congrats!!
@clarebee Sometimes I declare a bug to be a bath-worthy problem. Once I run the bath I'm kinda committed to lazing in it for an hour and just thinking
@leonerd the kind of debugging skills i aspire to!
