Just before sleeping I had an idea for a bug that I’ve been working on. Identifying the problem took most of the time. While brainstorming for ideas, I noticed my mind was giving me all these SWAGs (silly wild-ass guesses). After a short pause, I ruled out these ideas and eventually found the culprit.
I would have preferred to get enough sleep before engaging in this type of work (and let my mind work on the problem in the background), but I had a hunch that a solution was nearby. Sometimes you just need to push because of what’s at the top of your mental stack.
