Transcript
The programmer's brain By Felienne Hermans
Hello there - This is a book is the intersection
between learning and tech.
Agenda What's the idea: Go over the following sections: 1.
The memory 2. Reading code 3. Writing code 4. Naming
1. The memory
Memory classification - Working memory - Short term memory -
Long term memory
Memory classification - Working memory - Short term memory -
Long term memory * The magical number seven minus or plus two
SPACED REPETITION, REVISIT
Cognitive refactoring - Grab a piece of code - Place
that where you need - Remove that afterwards
2. Reading code
Code - Reading texts and reading code are strongly related
- Same parts of the brain are active - The first is that research shows we as programmers spend more time on reading code than writing
Code - Reading texts and reading code are strongly related
- Same parts of the brain are active - The first is that research shows we as programmers spend more time on reading code than writing it * lack of practicing on reading code
3. Naming
Naming - Names make up a large part of the
code base - Names play a role in code reviews - Names are the most accessible form of documentation - Names can serve as beacons

code base - Names play a role in code reviews - Names are the most accessible form of documentation - Names can serve as beacons * Linking chuks
W.M → L.T.M L.T.M → W.M
Naming she refers a research that points to 19% increase
on finding defects for code that does is not abbreviated.
4. Writing code
Writing - an interrupted task takes longer to finish compared
to a uninterrupted on, this is what research points to.

Writing - TODO's in code remain unresolved for long time
- People cannot multitask - static-types systems outperform dynamic ones in terms of time and accuracy finding bugs
