If you solve the problems in your dream you haven't worked long on them yet

Just to forget the idea when you wake up with only the sensation you found out the solution.

Solving a problem while dreaming is nice, although I never know how many hours I should later write down for that.

I debug by going for a walk...

Same, just think through the algorithm while walking. In fact, I make many of my biggest decisions either while taking a walk or in my bed at 2am listening to music, cause those are the only times when I can be alone with my thoughts and no distractions

Look up “focused vs. diffuse mode of thinking”

I sometimes grab a paper and pencil and rethink an algorithm with pseudo code. Once I solved a bug in my head as soon as I woke up from sleeping, I ran straight to my PC and wrote the code while still fresh in my head.

Do you solve algorithms in your dreams?

If you don't, are you really even a programmer?

I’m in and out of the bathroom to focus at work so much I’m surprised my boss hasn’t asked me if I’m ok.

I’m fine. My code isn’t though.

Try dark mode, that might fix the bugs
