I feel you. The time spent discovering a new domain is high-value but also very creatively demanding. Often underestimated by technical folk used to "coding to specification".
That stressful period, full of uncertainty and half-articulated thoughts, as you figure out the basic concepts, how they inter-relate, form goals, make things fall into place conceptually.
Personally, I don't find staring at a blinking cursor helps. During this phase, long walks work the best for me.
- LeonM 9y agoThanks for understanding, it's always nice to hear you're not the only one struggling. Also great of you to mention walking, I walk a lot during 'work hours'. To outsiders it's so hard to explain that yes, walking is actually part of my process, and yes, walking around in the nearby forest is in some sense my job.
