“With programmers, it’s especially hard. Productivity depends on being able to juggle a lot of little details in short term memory all at once. Any kind of interruption can cause these details to come crashing down. When you resume work, you can’t remember any of the details (like local variable names you were using, or where you were up to in implementing that search algorithm) and you have to keep looking these things up, which slows you down a lot until you get back up to speed.”[/quote]I find this quite accurate - when programming under the influence of drugs that reduce the size of my working-memory I can still program effectively, but at a much slower pace as I have to keep looking up function signatures, names, etc...

Wait... I reported this, but then I noticed you have a lot of posts. Why does this read like a spam bot message.[/quote]
