Hey Nathan. Great article. Thanks for writing this. Loved your three points. It's a subject I've been thinking a lot about lately, but I hadn't thought about feature re-writing for repetition practice. Good stuff. The only thing I'd add is setting up quizzes for yourself. See http://sivers.org/srs http://sivers.org/srs If most day-to-day programming we do is 95% stuff we know, and 5% stuff we haven't committed to memory ("how do I sort an array of JavaScript objects by one of their properties, again?") - then I've found huge deliberate-practice-style benefits from taking each thing I don't know, as I run across it, and putting it into an Anki flashcard. Then each morning as I start my day, I open up Anki to let it quiz me. I've seen massive improvements in my vim, JavaScript, AngularJS, Ruby, and Sinatra skills from this approach of practicing just what I don't know. Email me if you want to geek out about this. Deliberate programming is one of my favorite subjects.
