and then it doesn't work because you oversaw a part of the problem

Taking a short break to do something else for a few minutes is a wonderful way to stay productive and not stuck on some issue.

I remember specifically one day in university times I was stuck for almost 4 hours in a problem. I started working shortly after 8:00 and I went for lunch with some buddies, came back, and instantly knew the solution. This is how I learned how to have lunch at 9:00

Thread 1 "gdb" received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

He didn't wash his hands either and now he's going to touch his keyboard with those hands. You're welcome.

Since he's touching the keyboard with unwashed hands it's probably best he didn't wipe.
