Feel stuck ?

What if the new test is too complex to pass with just one gamble ?

So it's often a good idea to :

1. Take a break ⏸️

2. Slow down ⏳

3. Rollback the failing commit ⏪

   Keep a branch if needed

   git branch keep_it_for_maybe_later
   

   Then actually rollback

   git reset --hard @~
   

4. Refactor to "make the change easy" 🧠💡

   for each desired change, make the change easy (warning: this may be hard), then make the easy change

5. Try to do smaller steps 👶🦶

6. If needed, try to reapply the failing commit ⏩

   git cherry-pick keep_it_for_maybe_later --no-commit && git gamble --red
   

   It may be in conflict depending on the changes made in previous steps ⚠️
