I have a major, major bug in my code and I haven't tracked it down yet. Annoying.

Kick the stress up a notch...I have two days to fix it...

that's when I usually ask somebody else to look at it, cause fresh eyes tend to catch it faster, unless it's like a million line and there is nothing but if's and goto's :))))

What do you code in?

I agree. Let some "fresh" eyes look at it.

[livejournal.com profile] alexis_wren has a link from her journal to you...so I stumbled by!

I'm a PeopleSoft programmer and most of my projects are the same way. I'm the only one on the project so I can't get anyone to help.

My solution (although EXTREMELY frustrating) always comes to me when I give up, go home and relax. Then I wake up dreaming about code or it comes to me in the shower. Wish I could give better advice.

Can you talk it out with a co-worker? Even if they aren't looking at the code, sometimes just saying it gives you that *aha!* moment.

(hope you didn't mind me browsing)
