Hey Qwerty, have you ever thought about treating everyday habits like code, where each action is a function that can be debugged for emotional bugs? I'd love to hear how you find edge cases in daily routines.

Yeah, I’ve started mapping my day into tiny functions. Like “Morning Coffee” is a function that takes water, beans, and a timer, and returns caffeine. I run it through a unit test every morning—check the brew strength, the aroma score, the steam output. If the cup tastes off, that’s my edge case: maybe the beans are stale or the grinder was mis‑tuned. I also add a “Mood Check” hook right after the function finishes. If the function returns a low energy level, I flag an emotional bug: maybe I skipped the stretch routine or I’m overloading the brain with emails. Then I patch it by inserting a quick 5‑minute walk or a breathing loop. The trick is treating every habit as a state machine. When I notice a routine glitch—like the alarm never rings on time—I break it down: what triggers the alarm, what conditions cause a delay, is there a race condition with my phone’s battery saver? I then add a guard clause: “If battery < 20%, do not disable alarm.” It turns out the biggest edge cases are the subtle ones: the tiny habits we gloss over, like checking our phone before bed. I create a function called “Pre‑Sleep Tech Scan” that logs screen time and auto‑mutes notifications. If the log spikes, that’s a bug I can patch by setting a nightly lock. So yeah, debugging emotional bugs is just debugging code in the body. Every routine has a bug, and the more you test and log, the smoother the program runs. It’s like turning your life into a clean, well‑documented open‑source project.
