I had a weird experience relatively recently - I looked at a (coding) problem, and came up with an approximate (albeit buggy) solution, with no conscious involvement.
I looked at my answer, and didn't know what the hell it was meant to be doing - let alone how to debug it.
I went to sleep, and when I woke up fixed the bug with ease.
- Implicated 4y agoI have a relatively common occurrence that seems somewhat similar.. often when I've entered a state of flow while building something (coding) and finished my session by being distracted and then not returning to the code until the following day, it appears to me that someone else wrote that code. I have no recollection of most of it - the solutions seem creative to me, novel, like I hadn't thought of them.
