Two colleague's were sitting next to me and were working on launching an app, and they wanted to redirect the logs into a txt file, instead of printing them all on the console.
They were doing all the right things, and still it wasn't working right. They were at it for quite some time, and I was trying to do my bit to help. After a while, we ran out of options, and frustration was setting in.
I realised I had given up, and was getting defeated, when V uttered 'Hmm...Interesting Problem'.
I was already bogged down with the issue, while he was enjoying tackling the problem. He got up and went away, saying, let's think it over.
Day got over, we went home.
This morning I went into work, thinking, I must do this and that and this and that. I went to my desk to realise that it had already been fixed. V had apparently found out that some buffer had to be flushed. He had applied the fix, and it was working now.
I truly admire these guys, who don't get bogged down with issue, but strive and solve them, no matter what. This might have been a relatively easy issue to tackle. But, the confidence, and his attitude to think about how to solve the problem, rather than getting bogged down with it.
I like that.
i think its great to have such colleagues around you....they work as great morale boosters!!!
