    Once dreamt a solution (the logic, not the code, though) for an actually real programming issue I had and the solution actually worked.

      Ditto… ish.

      In my dream I mixed up some constraints of the real-world system. I still came up with an elegant solution that would have worked if the dreams constraints were true. Except they weren’t and the solution was useless.

      Bonus was the dream-solution exposed a “front door” so to speak on the real problem and I felt dumb that I even spent 5 minutes thinking about it.
