It was a windy day in Vancouver, and I was watching the trees slightly bending down through the windows. It was the memory leak of a complicated component that struggled me, and I had to walk away to get some fresh air and clear my mind for new thoughts. The problem would be easier if the component were not that complex and tightly coupled, and the issue would be identified easily. Refactoring the code was necessary, but I felt like I was just one step away from finding out the root cause of the leak.
