18 hours can't fix a bug

go to stack overflow spend 2h writing the question

post question

of course get a downvote in less than 50 seconds

then i thought: hold on while people answer me here, let me try one more thing

i try one more thing

it works

EVERY TIME, JUST AFTER ASKING SOMEBODY FOR HELP, I SOLVE IT BY MYSELF A FEW MINUTES LATER.

DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE?

    @DLMousey For a good question, that's totally okay.

    Yes. It happens to me as well. That's why I use the "answer my own question" flag quite often after I worked myself to the solution.

    Ignore the random down-voters, embrace criticism and edit your question accordingly and you'll be fine.

    Sane happens to me, sometimes writing your question clarifies a lot

    @SukMikeHok It's great that you solved it and that you actually took the time to articulate your question precisely!
    I hope you also added your solution to SO so others can $$$profit.

    Yes. This happens occasionally on my end, too. I ask one of my coworkers about how to do x, or why is y happening when I do z, and the moment they go over to my desk to take a look, I figure out a solution.

    Taking a break also probably will help

    @sergiolarosa89 I relate to spending 2h writing a question for sure, saying everything you tried, trying to convince people you're not clueless

    Happened to me yesterday. The code was

    return Promise.resolve(()=> {...})

    Should have been

    return Promise.resolve().then(()=> {...})

    The first step of debugging is to talk to someone, explain your code

    @gungah This looks convoluted though. I don't recommend mixing the flat async/await-syntax with the callback-based `then`-able syntax.

    Depending on what your `...` stands for I think you rather want to do either:

    return ...;

    which is equivalent to: `return Promise.resolve(...);`

    or

    return new Promise((resolve, fail) => {
    ...
    resolve()
    });
