There comes a point, somewhere late in the evening after my ADHD meds have worn off, where it’s more productive to not do any coding. If I do, I’m just going to end up throwing most of it out tomorrow because it’s a bunch of bug littered spaghetti.
Unfortunately, I also solve most of my big problems when I’m not staring at a screen. After which I have to resist the temptation to go work on it so I don’t make a big mess. It’s some kind of cruel irony.
Hemingway used to say “Write drunk, edit sober.” I’ve modernized that a bit for my own personal philosophy:
Code drunk. Debug drunk. Merge drunk.
Yeah, we’ve been meaning to talk to you about that.
I had that castle toy as a kid holy shit the memories tucked away in this brain
Came here to say the same. I loved that thing. The little “hidden” passage for the boulder drop trap. That thing was awesome!
