When you finally figure out what was wrong with your code after banging your head against the wall for 14 hours.

So all of your coding related victories evoke feelings of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air? Wow! ;)
 
OP Seems to get too much excited when his coding works out and find out no mistakes in coding .. I can feel that bro being a programmer =)

John Madden is that you?

Well you see, you see, to win you gotta score more touchdowns than the other guys.
 
I do not feel like dancing when I find out I wasted 2 hours debugging a simple typo. I feel like raging against humanity. When I stop wasting enough time on these typos to finish my version of Sky Net, I will.
 
Na man... whenever I can't figure out something for a while it's usually when my IQ has fallen to room temperature levels because of exhaustion... so when I finally figure it out it's something really retarded an orangutan could figure out... every... FUKING... time

so instead of thinking of myself like this

Yeah, I'm definitely more the type who instead of being elated, gets pissed off to no end that he wasted like 10 hours on a 2 minute solution.

Thankfully I've learned to not do that to myself anymore. When I get stuck, I simply stop what I'm doing, and wait for the next day. For me at least, when I'm stuck, there's absolutely no point whatsoever in trying to figure out the problem then & there, because it'll never happen. You're already frustrated, and have your head into the code too much so see clearly, so there's no point in trying anymore.

After a 12 hour break and some rest though, voilia, it's usually a 5 minute solution that I can see right away after coming back to the code with a clear mind.

Amazing what some sleep or a small break can do. I can't count how many times i've been stuck on something late at night, but then I wake up in the morning and the solution hits me as soon as my coffee kicks in.

PS. Lulz at the tag. Can't we all just get along?
 
That moment when the joy recedes and you realize it was because you misspelled var as bar

Happens to the best of us, that's why you need another dev to look over your shoulder.

I got a crazy eye for things like missing commas, misspelled variables and shit.

True story:

dev: "emp, I can't find out why this isn't working. "
me: "hmm.. show me"
dev: "Wait.. I'll got here and there...(changing file tabs in the editor)"
me: "Go back."
dev: "no no, the code I want to talk about is here in.."
me: "Go back to that tab"
dev: "No, you don't understand.. I"
me: "Go back. just do it!"
dev: "Sigh".. clicks back through tabs
me: "You are missing a comma there" (that screen was visible a second at most)
dev: "Yeah, but that doesn't even... grumble" *changes code*
code: *runs*

That after he was looking at the code for the better part of the day.
My colleagues love and hate me in equal parts.

you spent 13.5 hours more than i ever could've before hiring someone to do it.

you are one focused individual.
 
Here's a huge thing that helps.

Verbalize your problem. Get it out loud to someone else, and a fair percentage of the time just airing it like that will get you to the solution (provided it was within your grasp to begin with).

This, and draw it.

I've come to terms with being an idiot. So I draw pictures, and I feel less derpy.
