Example Output

# Oblique Strategy for Debugging Challenge

## Current Situation
You're working on a Python project for TechSolutions Inc. and are stuck on a data processing module that's not handling edge cases correctly.

## Suggested Strategy
**'Honor thy error as a hidden intention'**

Instead of treating the error as a problem, consider what it might be trying to tell you. Here's how to apply this:

1. **Embrace the error**: Instead of fixing it immediately, study it closely. What assumptions is it challenging?
2. **Reframe the problem**: Ask yourself, 'What would make this error the correct behavior?'
3. **Explore alternatives**: Consider if there's a different approach that would make this 'error' the expected outcome.
4. **Document the journey**: Keep notes on how this perspective shift affects your understanding of the problem.

This approach might lead you to discover a more robust solution that handles edge cases more elegantly.
