That's really interesting. Can you expound on this a little more? I've never done it but am thinking about it so that's why I ask.
Were you self conscious? How'd it make you a better programmer? Did you talk out what you were doing?
- swiley 9y agoYes I was self conscious, that's what encouraged me to keep fixing things so people would see me working rather than slacking off (it's similar to the IM client busy/away indicator at work.) It made me a better programmer simply because I was doing it more, so I kept encountering problems and having to solve them. I learned why more experienced programmers do things and don't do things, I got better at using GDB and started using valgrind etc.
