And you’ve rewritten it by 11 am, wondering why you didn’t go sleep at a decent hour.
6 hours later? Get some fucking sleep, code will be better.
It’s all a matter of perspective
I’ve had this run in both directions. Going through the repos a day later: “Holy hell, this solution is [utter shit || truly inspired || elegant AF || written by someone who should probably be fired]. Who wrote this? Me?! I don’t remember any of this.”
The compartmentalization/fugue state is real.
I love it. I’ll have some fever-dream solving a problem that has had me stumped, then spend the next day fixing it up.

That’s happened to me enough to almost turn me to the woo side. :D “Answers Come In Dreams.”
“What’s software development like?” “Well, like the shamans of old, we work ourselves into a fugue state to hallucinate esoteric solutions to unsolvable problems, then kick it to junior scribes to record and implement.”
The senior dev on my team does this on a daily basis.
Then the rest of the team gets confused how to use his code because he’s buried it in a dozen layers of abstractions.
happens to me when i’m drunk; but not too drunk. lol
I never knew there was an xkcd comic for this. I shall be saving this link for my next late night drinking development session.
there is an xkcd comic for everything
there are only 3220 things, but a new thing is made daily and the comic creator keeps up with that
of course there’s an xkcd comic of ti. lol

is my keyboard dyslexia significant somehow? lol
This graph is also true for bowling.
The 3 days it takes me to unfuck 2AM work should teach me a lesson.
But it dornt

Is that the He-man castle from the 80s?
Fisher price great adventures castle toy from the 90s
I loved that castle. I think the remains of it lie in my parents attic to this day.
Every child care center and baby sitter near me eventually had one or two of these.
I’m not sure I ever encountered one with the actual figures though. You were lucky if the canon ball was still with it.
The game for this bad boy went hard
Wait you guys are still writing your own code?
i’m still copy and pasting code okay?
