How To Get Out of Developer's Block?

Posted by timothy on from the how-do-you-feel-about-get-out-of-developer's-block dept.

Midnight Thunder writes "I have spent the past six months working on a software project, and while I can come up with ideas, I just can't seem to sit down in front of the computer to code. I sit there and I just can't concentrate. I don't know whether this is akin to writer's block, but it feels like it. Have any other Slashdotters run into this and if so how did you get out of it? It is bothering me since the project has ground to a halt and I really want to get started again. I am the sole developer on the project, if that makes a difference."

      Sad day. He had some personal issues, but his music was top notch. I remember pirating it through the years .... cassette copies, burned CDs, and finally ogg-vorbis. I'm going to go illegally download the thriller 25th anniversary edition right now. Thanks MJ, for the great music.

    Work doesn't actually exist. It is the facade by which most western affiliated people play up to between masturbating and being hunted by grue's.
