Pragmatic Thinking and Learning Refactor Your “Wetware”
- Share to:
Thanks for picking up this book. Together, we’re going to journey through bits of cognitive science, neuroscience, and learning and behavioral theory. You’ll see surprising aspects of how our brains work and see how you can beat the system to improve your own learning and thinking skills.
We’re going to begin to refactor your wetware—redesign and rewire your brain—to make you more effective at your job. Whether you’re a programmer, manager, “knowledge worker,” technogeek, or deep thinker, or if you just happen to have a human brain you’d like to crank up, this book will help.
I’m a programmer, so my examples and rants will be directed at the world of software development. If you’re not a programmer, don’t worry; programming really has little to do with writing software in arcane, cryptic languages (although we have a curious attachment to that habit).
Programming is all about problem solving. It requires creativity, ingenuity, and invention. Regardless of your profession, you prob- ably also have to solve problems creatively. However, for program- mers, combining rich, flexible human thought with the rigid con- straints of a digital computer exposes the power and the deepest flaws of both.
