Often, I find a good rest gives me greater understanding of a difficult problem or complex bug. Sometimes you get lost in the weeds. I also work much faster in the mornings, which helps.

- bombcar 3y agoThis is the huge part. You found the bug, so your anxious mind is calmed, but you did NOT write the first fix that came to mind, so you have time to mull it over. Often you realize sometime in the night that the first fix would have had other subtle issues. And you’re less likely to throw a quick fix on in the morning.
