I’ve often been accused of looking angry when I’m thinking about a problem. Of course I’m angry! How dare the solution allude me! 😡

Allude what to you?

Probably alluding to the fact that it's eluding them 🤷

Maybe "aluding" is because the solution is both eluding and alluring at the same time, so one keeps following its syren song but when you get to where you think the solution is, it's not there.

Certainly it matches the feeling I got with some of the development problems I've faced.
