It's something that I'm still trying to force myself to do. I do know that I'm more productive away from the computer. But it's so tempting to just tweak, compile, test, iterate... I generally use pen and paper when I'm stuck and require deeper thinking.
Also, a lot of the work of a programmer consists in understanding existing code. You need the computer for that.
- mjrbrennan 5y agoI have to agree with your other comment. Drawing things out on pen and paper helps me a lot as well, but it’s quite difficult to do when you need to work around existing code and keep all the classes, methods, and logic in your head, looking up things as you go.
