When they say deliberate practice, they just mean practice. Or practice with focus at most.
Deliberate practice isn't just practicing extra hard. Remember the original research is about violinists.

- raincole 3y agoObjective feedback. According to Ericsson, violin performance is relatively "objective": most professionals agree on what's bad and what's good, even in a blind test environment. It's the opposite of what general people believe: that music comes down to "individual's taste". It might be true for pop, but not for classical violinists. I really don't believe coding works like that. If it does, there won't be so many "consider harmful..." memes. You can delibrately practice leetcode, but I doubt if you can delibrately practice coding in the general sense.
- johnchristopher 3y agoThanks ! In the meantime I opened multiple tabs to skim through and also thought "hmm, small repetitive tasks you practice again and again to perform them perfectly... not applicable to every field then ?".
