It is BS -- you can't split some work into smaller parts. If you interrupt pregnancy at 3 months, you likely won't get a baby in 6. Deep work may take time.

- hinkley 5y agoI don't believe it. Most of the most complex code I have found, when I needle the author about it, it turns out they don't really understand it either. It genuinely seems to me that the Feynman Hypothesis holds true: If you can't explain it simply, then we don't really understand it. And for certain if you can't explain the code simply, there's no way to make the code simple.
- d0mine 5y agoDeep work is not about producing complex code. The result is most likely the opposite: it is a hard work, to make something look simple. The term "deep work" is from here https://www.calnewport.com/blog/2012/11/21/knowledge-workers-are-bad-at-working-and-heres-what-to-do-about-it/ https://www.calnewport.com/blog/2012/11/21/knowledge-workers...
