I’m having to own-up to an objective truth that I really hate: I simply cannot produce good code and talk at the same time. I’m not talking about talking through problematic algorithms, for that I will mumble to myself even if no one is around. I’m talking about the really fast typing and middle-focus stuff that just needs me to refactor code, or document it. When I start blabbing I just lose the thought all the time.
Talking has its own advantages. I have discovered things while talking and explaining that let to other things I wasn’t expecting. I think that is the value of having a community. But when it comes time to focus and get code or written content done, not having to talk and respond really goes a long way. I’m been more prolific in my code and work for the last two weeks since I returned to just putting HackerYoga music on and mostly ignoring the chat and doing my thing. I cannot stop. Not even if it means some will unsub and be annoying by Twitches notifications that I’m here when I’m actually not.
