I'm the same way, though I feel like this flies in the face of reason. Switching to a less familiar language usually implies more headaches and less productivity, but the novelty makes it more enjoyable. Another example of how programming is oddly emotional.
- sassafras 15y agoNothing odd about it, IMHO. One of the things I think tech-oriented people consistently ignore is the role of emotion and the subconscious in decision making, even in what are nominally objective disciplines. Our conclusions may be based on reason, but then where do our hypotheses and inspirations come from?
- daithiobroin 15y ago... oh... that's just magic. i will intellectually dine on that for a week!
- bthomas 15y agoTotally agree. More accurate phrasing would have been "another reminder of how..." Book recommendation: Thinking Fast and Slow by Dan Kahneman. Great overview of how those factors affect decision making.
- sassafras 15y agoNice, I'm going to check that out :)
