Working alone sucks. The learning barrier varies every day. Some days, you feel you are a superman coder doing simple stuff. Other days, you feel like a drained out rat stuck on a syntax error. So, I understand how you may have felt when you found out the root cause.
Perhaps, this is a cliche. What works for me is the 'rubber duck' (http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?RubberDucking). It helps me not only while coding but also solving life problems. No really. I am not ashamed to say, I talk to an inanimate object to work through few problems.
I learnt that the very few simple things you think you know turn out to be difficult to explain. Who better than the soft toy to listen and not judge you?
