Golf and Code: Mental Reset After a Buggy Day

After too long staring at a bug, I can stop reading the code and start seeing what I expect it to say. That's usually a sign to get away from the desk.

Golf is one way of doing that. It offers plenty of its own opportunities for frustration, but at least they're outdoors and unrelated to the browser. I like having an activity where checking a work message would be an interruption rather than the default.
