Go outside.
It's not just important to actually enjoy the life you're trying to hack together, it's also healthier, and if neither of those reasons will convince you, it'll also make you a better programmer: Too many programmers think they need to get in front of a screen to start "programming", when in actuality they're just spending themselves, and responding to what they see. Only thinking about the problem fully will make your programs smaller and faster.
- mobiuscog 10y agoWalking - clear your head and don't think about anything technical - for at least 30 minutes, preferable more.
- collyw 10y agoTotally agree, and this is party why I hate coding tests for interviews. Writing good code starts with decent understanding of the problem and thought put into the design. Rushing that for some time limit is completely counterproductive.
