Getting that first piece of code to run is such a huge relief. It's like a mental door finally unlocking after you've been rattling the handle forever. The walk away method is a lifesaver. My brain needs that quiet time to sort through the mess I made. Coming back with fresh eyes makes the problem so much clearer. It's a good reminder that sometimes the best fix is to just step away for a bit.

Staring at code until it works is the real developer experience. I usually have to walk away for ten minutes and then the answer just pops into my head.

That "walk away" trick works on cars too sometimes.
