This one was actually from earlier today! I was struggling with a PR, so I thought it'd be a smarter, more productive move to walk away and address another bug. When I tracked down the cause of this other bug, I wound up finding an issue that broke several key parts of our app while slipping through a blind spot in the tests. Thanks to me finding it, we managed to get a fix to production before the weekend!
I count it as a win since it shows my old habit of banging my head against something to prove myself, it's often not as good as moving to where I can be more effective for the team.
