Ever get Flustered Over Coding?

Ever get Flustered Over Coding?

I think I want the world FOC (Frustrated Over Coding) to be used now! "I'm SO FOC, I can't even see straight!"

Anyways, moving on! Not only me but everyone else have to get frustrated over coding - right? What do you do? Ever get that sensation in your stomach of heaviness when looking at your code?

I found that when I start feeling like bashing my keyboard across the roam, or get snippy...I play a video game. I take my mind off coding for a bit then come back - resolving the issue I was having. Haven't you noticed that when stuck in a rut in code, when you take a break then comeback; you have clarity?

What are some of your experiences you've noticed when you took a small break from coding then coming back? Have you came closer to a clearier solution? Do you write down what you want to the program to behave like?

This blog is just for discussion.
