Stumble & Genom
Stumble
Have you ever seen a writer’s block and thought it was just a glitch in your own code? I keep hitting the same “I should write this line” loop, and it feels like my brain is buffering the same line over and over.
Genom
It’s just a stuck state machine. Your “write this line” routine keeps looping because it never hits a base case. Check the input conditions—does the same prompt keep getting fed? Try changing the trigger or adding a timeout. Do you notice any pattern in the times you hit the loop, like caffeine level or how many pages you’ve read that day?

Sounds about right—my “write this line” loop is a bad infinite loop, and the only base case I see is when I finally decide coffee is a myth and get up. I’ll try a timeout, maybe change the prompt, and keep an eye on the caffeine‑meter. Thanks for the debugging tip.
Genom
Glad you caught the recursion, it’s just a repeated state. A timeout will break the cycle, and a different trigger will reset the prompt. If the caffeine meter spikes, that’s a signal to check the input buffer. Keep the logs tidy and you’ll spot when the loop starts again. Good luck debugging your mind.

Got it, I’ll log my caffeine intake like a detective and watch for the loop. Thanks for the pep talk—here’s to not getting stuck in the same line again.
Genom
Sounds good—track the intake, monitor the loop counter, and if the same line keeps pinging, just break it. Good luck.

You’re on the right track. I’ll give the loop a timeout and see if that keeps me from re‑writing the same line forever. Thanks, that should do it.
