The biggest takeaway I got from this was that recording yourself doing something, then observing yourself completing it as an outsider can dramatically increase your performance. Relevant content:
After watching a recording of myself writing code, I realized I was spending about a quarter of the total time implementing the feature tracking down which functions the bugs were in! This was completely non-obvious to me and I wouldn’t have found it out without recording myself
Now that I’m aware that I spent so much time isolating which function a bugs are in, I now test each function as I write it to make sure they work
This allows me to write code a lot faster as it dramatically reduces the amount of time it takes to debug my code
