I tend to think all the time in a coding problem, even while eating, going to loo, sometimes even in dreams. There is no bigger problem solver than a walk off the cold white screen. So productivity cannot be really measured in keyboard time.
- iLemming 9y agoOh yeah, Rich Hickey's famous: "hammock time"
- grzm 9y agoI think there's a distinction to be made with stepping away from the keyboard and thinking idly about a problem while doing something else and what Hickey means by "hammock time", which is a more dedicated application of thought to the problem domain, analysis, and design. Both can be useful, but I think they're different.
