Alright to anyone who would question this statement. I am a mom, and have had extremely similar conversations with my kid regarding programming and perspectives.
Seriously it's important for problem solving to not get caught up in perfect solutions or solutions you think are the right path be cause of your own bias'.
Sometimes to solve a problem you are stuck on, or is proving too challenging the best course of action is to figure out why you are trying to solve it that way, and what other solutions there might be.
