- biohacker42 18y agoThe brain is a funny thing. You can be both good at coding AND at speaking in front a white board, but at the same time suck at coding on a white board. I can tell you that from personal experience.
- philwelch 18y agoI write all of my code with a keyboard, in a text editor. If I have a keyboard and a text editor my brain remembers how to write code better than if I have a whiteboard and a marker, because I don't write code on whiteboards. The brain works this way, which is why you feel sleepy when you go to bed (unless you spend a lot of time in bed not sleeping). It's a type of compartmentalization, well known in psychology.
