Huberman: Your brain has a region that only grows when you do things you don't want to do

...or as I interpret it your brain grows only when it does things that are difficult.

If you remove the difficulty, it will atrophy into a hum of a mindless chit-chat.

Engineering the data structures and control flows from scratch is a completely different than asking an LLM to scaffold them for you.

I love programming, but I don’t love working. I’m about 10 years away from retiring and can’t wait. Does that count? ;-)
