I recently perused an article on HN stating many programmers don't think. I found this intriguing and began to ask around. From the small sample, it appears true in some regard. There are many related concepts such as flow and familiarity in the vein of muscle memory. I'm interested in feedback and discussion.
Do you think when you program/code/design? Please elaborate.
Do you maintain a dialogue in your head? or perhaps you are coding while pondering the far reaching ramifications of what you're currently typing?
Try it and see. Is not thinking a good state? is thinking about something else more beneficial? is deliberate, mindful programming better for you? Perhaps one method contributes more cognitive dissonance, leading to burnout easier?
