#074 - How to stop wasting hours of coding ... step back and look at the greater design!

**The  official Pybites T-Shirt**

This week we talk about an important topic: how to prevent yourself as a programmer from getting into tunnel vision when coding.

We have a nice practical example we'll share how we hit this last week (and many times more for that matter) in one of our solutions and also relate it to similar experience people go through when working with us.

You have to take a step back from time to time ("creating space") to think about the bigger picture design.

We hope it helps you and prepares you better when you hit this issue which (as we like to say) can be insidious.
