So I forgot to come back and link the best response to this I got. It was on Bluesky.

@SnoopJ there's an interesting antithesis in the proximity of this idea, specifically that there's a genre of intellectual activity that *feels* like preparation but is actually just pointless fiddling. I'm not sure how you teach the distinction there. For me, teaching beginners programming, a more common failure mode is analysis paralysis and I would instruct people to just start doin' stuff because they need more practice going through the physical motions. wax on, wax off, etc

@glyph I agree, which is why I worded my initial quip "take time to understand" rather than just "understand". Sometimes you're only going to have 80% understanding and you'll find the rest as you go, but it's better to start from 80% at least.

In programming specifically, when stuck with this kind of paralysis analysis, I give myself explicit permission to write "the bad version" of whatever it is I'm currently thinking of, and then by turning over this artifact I can find more of what I am looking for.

I think the synthesis I will draw from my thesis and your antithesis is that this problem-solving procedure can be recursive, where you set up some simpler version of the problem you're more comfortable with, solve *that*, and reflect. This does happen sometimes in the physics domain, where you consider a different problem and walk it towards your target, or somesuch. Or the meta-skill of deriving forward from the fundamental laws at your disposal.

For beginner-beginners in programming, I agree that "it's not a spectator sport" is a big part of the battle. I guess I don't know how to properly separate the "typing, but I'm thinking" and "typing, as a monkey" activities.

The Empress by Ruby Lal, 2018

The Astonishing Reign of Nur Jahan

Four centuries ago, a Muslim woman ruled an empire. Her legend still lives, but her story was lost—until now.
In 1611, thirty-four-year-old Nur Jahan, daughter of a Persian noble and widow of a subversive official, became the twentieth and favorite wife of the Emperor Jahangir, who ruled the vast Mughal Empire.







An astute politician as well as a devoted partner, she issued imperial orders; coins of the realm bore her name. When Jahangir was imprisoned by a rebellious nobleman, the Empress led troops into battle and ultimately rescued him.

The only woman to acquire the stature of empress in her male-dominated world, Nur was also a talented dress designer and innovative architect whose work inspired her stepson's Taj Mahal. Nur's confident assertion of talent and power is revelatory; it far exceeded the authority of her female contemporaries in Renaissance Europe, including Elizabeth I. Here, she finally receives her due in a deeply researched and evocative book.

내가 이해하기 어려워하는 말 중 하나가 "한국식으로 ㅇㅇ해라"이다.

"한국식으로 일해라"

"한국식으로 코딩해라"

"한국식으로 행동해라"

"한국식으로 사고해라"

난 한국인 부모 밑에서 한국에서 태어나고 자란 한국인이지만,

아직 "한국식"으로 일하는게 뭔지 정확하게 깨달은 적이 없다. ㅋㅋ
