Building your programming ability? Open "secret" about tech industry: programmers only productive about 3-4 hours/day & fake the rest. No need to sit 8 hours.

So don't burn yourself out! Maybe lie down & visualize, before coding tiny pieces. Understand a single thing in many ways; creates strong bricks as foundation of your knowledge. With stronger bricks, the faster you will be.

Maybe first write down a few different ways of doing something; list advantages & disadvantages of each. "Analyze tradeoffs."

Code's often a poor representation of thought, a thin brittle artifact that executes.

I think that one reason (not the only one, but one) for people using ableist terms and metaphors here is the "im mentally ill or otherwise neurodivergent myself, so I can't be ableist / my ableism doesn't count" mindset.

We all have internalised lots of oppressive bullshit, and purity is impossible, but responsibility is not.
