Is it easier to understand the problem when you rewrite the code instead of reading it (twice)?

- randallsquared 18y agoOften, yes. Reading code very rarely induces me to understand what I'm reading (and I'm pretty undisciplined, so rather than being able to force myself to think deeply about it, I often just reread until I "get" it). However, figuring out how to build something like it myself promotes understanding much faster, in my experience.
