Oh me too. I've often the real smart person in my life was my subconscious. Like you said though, the downside is there is no progress reporting and it can take a really long time. But I would say many of the slick solutions to programming problems have come from my subconscious, either after sleeping or just taking a break and eating some food or something.

I think you accidentally a word. Your subconscious must not have written that sentence... :-)

Or my silly new phone keyboard I was testing :-). But yes, "I've often thought" or "I've often felt" is probably what I meant.
