My antidote is to think about how I'd accomplish the task without a computer... and suddenly whatever the bug is seems pretty reasonable. People used to use literal file cabinets on a regular basis.

But at least it's not spilling something on a paper and losing 3 hours. I'd rather have kinda crappy software than no software.
