Which of the two States of Every Programmer are you in at the Moment?

Programming tends to leave us in two rather extreme states. Either everything goes super smoothly with no or few bugs, you are on the top of your game and you are GOD! Then there is the other state where you seem to be doing everything wrong, you have no idea what you were thinking, everything is buggy, the programs keep crashing and you feel like a total failure!

I only slightly change my mood from "they'll know I'm a failure!" when I deliver it, and even then I'm still "I could do better" :P

I have experienced two states of programming. It's either 1 or 0. Most of the time, I was lucky to score 1, which means I was always on high lol :)

Haha! This one cracked me up. Good stuff, Ranjan! 😀

This is kinda random, but do you ever find yourself coding in your dreams?

So far, I haven't experienced coding in dreams, However I have solved numerous challenging problems during the deep sleep. Yet times, those haunting problems would appear in my dream too :)

Thanks for asking @michaeltharrington. You made my day!

First, I felt like a total complete failure. But when I fixed the bug after spending two days, I was flying in heaven. 😂
