I literally can't do this.

I used to smoke a lot, and every time I went to smoke outside I'd think about what I was coding and find some stupid mistake just from thinking about it away from the keyboard.

Now I go for a walk and 9 times out of 10 it's the same, I write better code because I thought about it away from the keyboard.

This also works with vibe coding, I find - I think of better approaches to the codebase when I'm not in front of it

Yea, that works for me as well. But I can't do that from blank state. I need to be walking away from a long coding session for that to work.
