spent yesterday crafting tedious logic on how two datasets interact (i was added to a project at work that is nearly done but needs help wrapping up)

the stress of trying to maintain deep concentration amidst (dogs, life, etc.) and also under an arbitrary deadline is pretty daunting.

the saving grace for all of this, for me & my process, is to outline my intent in code comments before i ever write code. if your intent is wrong, you’ll waste time writing code that you don’t need.

(and a further note, before anyone thinks to attack the remote-work “distractions” mentioned here: they pale in comparison to the dispiriting effect of spending 90 minutes in car to get to an open-plan office where i will be interrupted by co-workers instead dogs and kids.)
