What Do You Do When Your Brain Gets Jammed While Coding
« on: July 02, 2008, 06:19 PM »

lets talk something a little bit off our profession as programmers

i know we all have at one point in time gotten into the "jammed brain" wahala. As for me, i just hibernate my lappy and take a walk. Sometimes music helps and sometimes it doesn't.  I don't drink or smoke. A pal suggested xxx as the best way out but i don't have a babe either Smiley. So confession time everyone!!!

When working on a Project and my brain gets Jam or I get stuck with a "Bug" or am tired of coding? What do I do. I hibernate my Laptop(like my friend above) then either Go and Lie down(sleep/relax) or I take a walk - maybe even Visit some friends. I try to do anything that will allow me to forget about my problems TEMPORARILY, so when I look at it the next time - It is with a Fresh View so I can see new Solutions that are possible.

I don't even Hibernate instead I shut the Pc and just go to sleep for 3 hours, when I am awake I think about the problem then solve. And I sometimes use gaming to keep my brain at bay thats  if I am not half way asleep when coding.

I just keep working on the code till i feel sleepy, and then shut down my computer with my eyes half closed.
But before my brain gets jammed on the code, i try to attack the code in small bits like mice biting off a large chunk of cheese, that way i code a little, and test well, and be sure the computer is not playing magic, when i'm sure the little part is working, then i move on and on till i get stuck or need fresh ideas or need to overhaul the whole project altogether, then i just start feeling sleepy automatically  Grin

I don't even try gaming because that needs some form of mental alertness too, and movies too take a lot of time and you always have to remember "what happened in the last scene", so when my brain gets jammed, it means I AM TIRED, I JUST NEED SLEEP.

Gisting with friends doesnt help either because i could make use of the energy instead by sitting alone quietly to think
