All developers are susceptible to the Captain Ahab moment. That one little thing in your system you just can’t seem to make work. The ever elusive white whale circling the boat, taunting you with your impotence. Productivity crashes and burns in obsessive hunts over the great white whale. I’m putting down my harpoon for the moment to spend the rest of the day working on something useful. The world just isn’t going to stop turning because I can’t make the 3rd party grid control bend to my will, but there’ll be hell to pay for missing the deadline on everything else.
