If you are a serious programmer, you should have felt the Head Rush or be ready for one, let me explain what this syndrome is all about:

You the programmer got an idea, a very intelligent idea which is going to change your projects implementation plan, idea which will ease your project’s development plan (something like writing an API on which your project would depend), idea which will fetch you the highest reputation in your company.

Once you got this idea in your mind at first you will go crazy and soon when you get to the ground multiple neurons start firing your brain (like multiple threads fighting for the same resource). You will be thinking of an algorithm, soon the idea of hiccups in the implementation comes in and very soon the performance matters you and apart from all these knowing that ‘only showing the implementation of your idea makes you a hero’, you want to implement the idea very soon, very soon until which no food tastes you.

Now you will start dying to streamline your thoughts. like above said when you start thinking of an algorithm the idea of hiccups in the implementation comes in the middle and the feeling of being a hero always come in the middle of other ideas, at this time you will start feeling the blood rushing into your brain, a pressure which is just unbearable but the poor you without knowing it would try to bear that little headache that already started in your head. You will be thinking of all the implementation/performance tweaks to your idea which would make it more powerful.

Whatever you are doing, this idea will be in your mind, no matter how the world is doing you will be in this idea, neither the god can dare to separate you from this idea and now the headache starts increasing making you unable to bear it, may be any other person would have neglected the idea and would have taken rest for a while (that’s the only solution to this).

But below is how a geek has reacted…

An intelligent programmer soon after feeling that he is not capable of writing a single line of code got an idea to recover soon for which he visited a multi specialty hospital where he was charged Rs.450 as just a consultation fees and given a normal paracetamol.

Soon after returning from the hospital and before taking any medication he had a very painful vomiting and you know what Head Rush is gone. But how and when ? When he was vomiting he realized he has gone crazy, he realized he need to be stable, he realized he need to streamline his thoughts, he realized there is no hurry for the implementation after all the idea is yours and you will be the Hero. Now the happy programmer started blogging about the fun he had with a smile on his face

Happy programming
