> I recommend you watch some videos of people using an IDE/Emacs or some text editor with sufficient support like VSCode to write Lisp code interactively. How they build a program while it is running. But also doing mechanical things like navigation and structural editing.

Could you please provide a link to some example videos you recommend? Greatly appreciated!

joshbochuon Ask HN: What new technologies should I go deep on to better my career?

It's tough to predict the future, especially since technologies change all the time.

In Web there's always a hot new thing in frameworks/tools but the underlying tech/fundamentals have remained the same e.g. HTML, CSS, the DOM, etc.

joshbochuon Coding and Confusion

It's always fun to conceptualize the brain as a computer and reason by analogy (iirc it was a steam engine back in the day). I'm excited to see the next advancement the brain gets compared to.

Taking a quick glance at this comment again. I do plan on writing a few tactics to reduce confusion after I read (a programmer's brain) a bit more and can think more on it.

A handy thing to keep in mind during code reviews

An interesting topic for sure. In terms of mastery / skill building, I'd figure those round trips are crucial for the novice and the master. It's just that the master has enough wisdom / experience in the back pocket to know which paths to branch and bound.
