Also 39, also three young kids. It’s hard.
One thing I’ve noticed, though, is that my difficultly in getting into a flow state is more often than not because of a subconscious hang-up about the approach that I haven’t articulated yet.
I’ve learned to recognize and lean into this, and actively look for what’s bothering me about a design. Usually while doing other things.
I suspect it’s actually saved effort overall.
- di456 3y agoI can relate to this. Sometimes I have to detangle a bunch of loosely related spaghetti code in my head for long enough to fully grok it and relate it to the business context. And then bring it all back together as one cohesive unit of work. In the end the code is easier to understand and maintain than if I layered on more spaghetti code and called it a day. I've done that too and months later not understood my own code.
