Coding + Mahjong related story:
Back in college, while majoring in CS, I had a rough time dealing with semicolons, typos, missed characters while coding.
I thought to myself "I wonder if playing Mahjong in the Windows games would help me get better at scanning code and finding these types of errors". So I tried it and, lo and behold, it did.
Also, in this day and age of LLMs writing a lot of the code, scanning for missing semicolons in code sounds like "I was great at fixing telegraphs!"
