"Programmer's cultivation-9 habits of cultivating thinking potential" reading notes

This book is the best I can imagine in a "chicken Soup book." Not half a sentence of nonsense, rigorous and meticulous thinking, very grounded gas. This is the first book I have read on my Kindle. The Kindle reading experience is really good.

      People's technical level is divided into several levels, novice, senior novice, proficient, proficient, expert. With the help of the rules, most people just don't make progress in the advanced beginner's position. They lack the process of introspection and understanding of their inadequacies and corrections. Experts need a lot of time training and talent, and need to rely more on intuition. They are always standing at the top of the pyramid 1% people.       The human brain can be simplified as a dual-CPU, single-bus structure. The left and right brain is a CPU, the brain is good at logical reasoning and rational, linear, serial, directive, more similar to the computer CPU, we call the L-type thinking. The right brain is vague, sensual, musical art, parallel and asynchronous, non-directive, called R-type thinking, which directly affects the ability to innovate and intuition. A lot of everyday learning requires L-shaped thinking. But just the L-shaped mind is not enough, because man is not a machine. Really important and interesting questions that need intuition and inspiration. The author says that we should attach importance to the development of LR. Attention to detail, but also the overall view. Focus on the situation, put the problem in the whole background to examine. It is important to note that the brain is a single-bus structure, so LR cannot compete for the bus at the same time. Playing music may be a special case, and studies have shown that the left and right brain are active at the same time.       How to use R-type thinking? The author says, let oneself leave the workbench, try to let oneself relax, type R is not command-driven, need to infiltrate the mind in the air, rather than strict reasoning. In this way, good ideas will appear asynchronously in a dream or in the washing of dishes. This explains why those who study hard are often not top notch in their grades. You need to give more stimulation to the R type. Music, travel, social, art, those "fun" things. Of course, this is not to give us reason to do nothing, only you really care about the problem and have a lot of left-brain thinking premise, the right brain can give you enlightenment. Stress and deadline may inspire L-shaped thinking, but it is definitely the most fearsome enemy of R-type thinking.       Real experience and useful information cannot be expressed in words. Experience is through a lot of practice and failure to summarize and the internal, how can be so easy to show through the language! But we are born imitators. With good people, the brain will naturally become excellent.       The brain is not a container, the brain is a flame that needs to be ignited. Filling knowledge is not so important, but you should be more aware of the brain's ability to introspect and deal with problems. He's going to make a mistake and he needs your debugging, maintenance and training. With the help of mind map, blank white paper, morning diary, organize different areas of things, cultivate a sense of humor, can fully mobilize the brain's creativity. Try to consider the problem with different angles, list the conditions and situations known to the problem, and examine the sparks from different combinations. When there is no thought to be foundTo see what conditions are not noticed. In fact, many difficult problems can be solved by this approach. Pure brain thinking is cool, but you need to improve the efficiency of the peripherals.       Attention is the resource that most needs to be managed. Today's people do not lack information and knowledge, but lack the least attention to important things. Constantly switching situations can seriously reduce efficiency. If a person is able to manage his attention well, he may have already succeeded more than half. How to cultivate attention? The author says, with meditation. Meditation is not a magical technique, but by focusing on breathing and emptying yourself, you can effectively train your ability to concentrate. Why not try it every day?       Overcoming external distractions is also an important part of protecting your own attention. Focus on your work, mute your phone, use a dual monitor, and set up your work space. The design of tools is more likely to be simple, the Kindle is a typical example. Don't underestimate the command-line word processing tools of the 90 's, where people are probably much more productive than they are now using word, because there's no colorful ads, social software distractions and temptations. Less is more.
