Last night, I dreamed about working on and eventually coming up with a complete solution to a (simple) programming problem. When I woke up, I realized the problem was entirely fictional, so the solution is useless.
@siracusa You know you are dreaming, if your only problem is solving a complex technical problem.
Reality is much more surreal. There is a simple solution to a technical problem, but after it passes through corporation processes, it does not fix anything but creates five new problems, three widely used abbreviations and a new gatekeeper role for their agile process.
@siracusa this is like finding a way to destroy the Death Star and then realizing there is no Death Star. Real bummer, you should build one and give it to the baddies 😂
@siracusa A shame. One of the best solutions to a tricky problem I ever devised came to me in a dream. I woke up and thought "Oh my god, I think that would work!" And when it did, I was so pleased with my subconscious lizard brain.
@siracusa now imagine you were an ass hole and realized you could get enough people to BELIEVE it was a real problem and then sold them your tool to address it... lol
@siracusa the emotion attached in the dream state, the urgency, makes a lot of things seem vitally real that don’t hold up in the face of logic once awake.
@siracusa I hate “programming dreams”. I always go in circles to try and solve a vague, fake problem. At least you solved yours. Normally that just leads to a restless night for me until I can quiet my brain.
