My apologies. This reply went to the wrong forum.

Hopefully it contains little to be debated. An even shorter version would
be:

If at first you don't succeed ...

Sometimes when I post something I get back comments and evaluate them and
learn quite a bit. I then reply and debate every little point and it can
continue for a few rounds.

I don't seem to be in that mood today so let me simply restate my entire
post in a few sentences with no examples, no lectures, no advice on what
anyone else can do and very little for anyone to bother replying to. Here
goes:

Sometimes when I run up against a wall and find that a solution to a problem
does not work because things may not work as I expected, I pause. I
reconsider what I actually need to get done. Then I look to see if I can
come up with other ways to do it that will work while still getting the
important parts done. Failing that, I ask if perhaps there is another tool,
such as another programming language that is a better fit for the task. And,
if the work needed seems excessive, I ask if perhaps the problem does not
really need to be solved by me and I move on.
