If everything you do requires deep thought, this is possibly a sign of bad code design.
- Insanity 8y agoNot _everything_ but a large part of what I do does involve rather deep thought. But indeed, what helps me is to pick one of the things that is easy to 'refocus'.
- stcredzero 8y agoNot _everything_ but a large part of what I do does involve rather deep thought. Anyone's ability to think deeply and pull out feats of clever is a limited resource. A well designed project tries to optimize this. Think of it as martial arts. It's good to be strong. The techniques are there to use your strength more efficiently. I was once in an Aikido class with someone who lifted. He had to constantly remind himself to use the technique and not just strength. (As Ramsey Dewey likes to point out, technique plus strength is pretty darn awesome.)
- lolc 8y agoHaha, could be yes. And at the opposite end: If everything I do can be achieved without thinking hard I'll be replaced with a tiny shell script written by someone who does.
