> Come back the next day, work on something else

This is a tried and true way of working on puzzles and other hard problems.

I generally have 2-4 important things in flight, so I find myself doing this a lot when I get stuck.

Just a note that, for chronic procrastinators, having 2 to 4 important things going on is a trigger & they'd rather not complete anything.

I wonder, for such folks, if SoTA LLMs help with procrastination?

You say this as if the LLM isn’t committing things it doesn’t even recognize as bugs if you don’t babysit it. I’d rather have a codebase with a few very well marked evil zones, rather than a codebase no one has read. All code contains demons and it’s good to have an understanding of their locations and relative power

so many eureka moments of mine were simply sitty on the MTA
