for the most part, my sinus infection is over–still dealing with residual stuffiness and congestion, but it feels like allergies now which i can handle. currently reading Extreme Cities by Ashley Dawson.
…I have the solution (code) clearly in mind, but as soon as I get a keyboard in front of me, my mind fades and I can’t come up with anything.
I used to earn a living writing code and dealt with something similar to this…it felt like writer’s block to me…in hindsight I’m not sure what it was.
One day I was having a satisfying bowel movement and the solution to a coding problem just popped into my head out of nowhere. To explain, I was sitting on the toilet taking a shit and wasn’t thinking about coding at all.
So, I decided that whenever I got stuck with code I would just walk away from the computer and go about my day. Many times I would do this, and while doing something mundane, the solution would just pop into my head out of nowhere.
Good luck on your Master’s thesis.

That’s super relatable 😂

So do I. But unfortunately the solution is gone once I start writing again. However, after letting out my frustration yesterday, it finally clicked :D
Good luck on your Master’s thesis.
Thank you very much :-)
