Pragmatic Thinking and Learning[1] is a great read for anybody interested in understanding how the features of our mind affect our work as programmers. The leading thought of the book is that we should put more attention to the R-mode of thinking, traditionally associated with the right brain, which is responsible for creativity, pattern matching and intuition. Moreover there is a fragment which states that depending on intuition works only when you reach a certain level of competence and gather enough experience to "feed" the unconsciousness processing. http://pragprog.com/titles/ahptl/pragmatic-thinking-and-learning http://pragprog.com/titles/ahptl/pragmatic-thinking-and-lear...
