You know what feels good?

All the best thinking is done while asleep… Sleep to solve a problem - Harvard Health[^]

One night at around 9.30 pm, was composing a poem in my language Kannada. Struggled to find two words to fit into the meter (prosody) of the poem, and just went to sleep 😴. At around 1.00 am, these words just appeared, maybe in a dream. Got up and wrote them down. These were perhaps the best words for that poem.

Or while running. I run at lunch time three days a week. Many times I've had an intractable problem, gone out and [very slowly] did my miles, and come back with a solution in my head. All of this without overtly thinking about it.

If only all race conditions were as easy to resolve.

Oh I was sweating it. What I first thought would take me an hour took me 4. After 4 i needed a rewrite. That's when I called it a night.

When debugging and I've munged the code so far I need a rewrite, it's time to step back, breathe, and go back to the original problem.

My impression is that most girls do not enjoy going to bed with anyone with nasty race conditions. Being an "easy solution" is nothing to strive for.

Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

Another example is going to bed with a performance problem on a gigantic persistent hash table and waking up with a solution that doesn't require a multi-hour table rebuild, because the hashing doesn't change.
