There was a new C# keyword 'bargo' which returns the value of the last but one function in the call stack. Someone had refactored all my code to make heavy use of it and I was completely lost.
Does anyone else have dreams about code? How is the code/language/environment in your dreams different from what you use in real life?
Makes no sense, i know.
When I've been working on a hard programming or design problem for several days, I often get a sort of repetitive dream where I'm going over and over the pieces of the problem. It's as if they are building blocks and I am turning them over and over in my hands, except they're ideas and not physical objects. The dreams rarely make direct technical sense and it's not like I wake up with solutions, but it still feels like part of the creative process.
It was kind of a surreal experience given the amount of effort I had put in the evening before.
