What happens if you get stuck on a task? Should you keep at it until its fixed or should you skip it and work on other tasks?
This is what happens: Fix bug. Something I am lacking understanding of. Ask Stackoverflow, wait for answer, question gets closed for being vague. Go to IRC, ask around, no one is answering. Rage hard. Look at bug again, very small detail I overlooked.
Whenever I get to a time sink bug, I find it completely drains me of my energy. I have a hard time moving on to the next bug because I am very bothered by leaving a loose end.
