So since we evolved to chase our prey rather than run from hunters, maybe we should program by putting our computer on a gazelle, and we have to catch it in order to write code for the [time period]?
It'd certainly lead to more thinking before writing, maybe the tradeoff would be worth it.

- mamon 8y agoFrom the linked Wikipedia entry it seems that it usually takes 2 to 5 hours, and 25 to 35 km chase. Not sure why you say "couple days". And hunters usually know the signs to follow to track a gazelle, so that's also non-issue.
