Visualization, memory, reading and research skills
Once in a while, we write articles intended to help programmers do their work more effectively. Nowadays more and more programmers do not really write code. Instead, they configure neural networks and hope for the best. Since I have several years of experience working with such networks and managing such programmers, I decided to share …

A friend of mine was dreaming of writing the first book about programming psychology, and after a year of collecting anecdotal material he found out there is more than one book on the subject. This sounds strange and stupid, but smart people try to reinvent the wheel even more often than people who are not …
QA and testing deal with the system after all the technical team feels confident with the product features and before the customer get the product. Experienced testers know too well that if anything can go wrong it will go wrong, and it is their job to make sure nothing goes terribly wrong. The biggest issues …
Read about Trachtenberg system for mental math. Now choose a random number. Start with 5 digits, with time try to upgrade to longer numbers. Do mental computations. Expected effects: faster and better working memory access, improvement of mathematical tasks. No program or tools required: everything can be done in your head. Beginner level Multiply by …
How do you know if you are a good programmer? There is no single criterion. This test provides some benchmark for your abilities. What other tools do you have to judge your own abilities? Programming polyglot Just like knowing many languages facilitates some business transactions, knowing many programming languages facilitates your conversation with other programmers …
