I learn to accept when I am tired and need to take a break. Sometimes hours of needling through code can be solved in minutes on a fresh brain. I used to be stubborn and wouldn’t stop until I had made some progress and that went on making a tired day into an exercise in frustration. Took a while to have the confidence to shut down and start fresh the next day.


This hit me real hard, thank you I need to become better at this.

Just had a few frustrating days at work, lo and behold problem solved elegantly in 1 hour on a Great Prayer Day where I was supposed to be off-work.

The simple solution was just writing out a truth-table and then implementing it using the new C# switch expression to make sure I had all combinations taken into consideration.
