Is it not for you? I’m at least 10 times faster at reading code than writing code.

- xboxnolifes 5y agoDoes "finding the source of a bug" and "figuring out the correct thing to write to fix a bug" fall under reading the code or under writing the code? I feel like the answer to those questions determines which is faster. One may say that you only compare (lines_read / time_reading) and (lines_written / time_writing) to find an answer, but if we remove all "time spent thinking" from both then it kind of feels like a meaningless comparison.
- jbluepolarbear 5y agoI’m spend much more time thinking about what I will write than I do thinking about what I’m reading. In any case my reading is far faster than my writing.
