The Joy of Programming

[@pmcgee003]

Flow state - understanding research papers; writers; vehicle mechanic; boat-buiilding; carpentry; prob eg some Olympic sports like rock climbing

I have been in a flow state in conversation, and I have been in a flow state when programming, but I can not imagine how anyone could be in a flow state while doing both at once. That's just not possible for me. I have to stop talking and stop listening in order to get into that flow state, where your short term memory is doubled and you can hold all of the context at once. the instant I hear my name or any other keyword that awakens that part of my brain, it's over.

whoa i just stumbled upon this randomly, what a great episode. I have never seen people discuss the addictive side of programming until now... But it absolutely exists.

I wish I could get addicted to video games again. That's how I know it's really good. I still enjoy them but right now I'm more interested in making them.
