Oct 18, 2014 at 17:26 comment added RedGreenCode On the topic of muscle memory: there is a type of muscle memory in programming. Besides the finger muscle memory (keyboard shortcuts, finding the special characters quickly), there is a kind of mental "muscle memory" that programmers can develop by repeatedly solving problems in a deliberate way.
Oct 18, 2014 at 17:25 comment added RedGreenCode Here's how I would distinguish deliberate practice from studying: Studying is about learning something new. deliberate practice is about getting better at something you already know, through careful exercise design, repetition, and responding to feedback.
Oct 17, 2014 at 13:22 comment added Justin Tanner @bart oh thanks I didn't notice I could do that. I feel to edit that question I would have to remove all the discussion of violin playing. But the title of the question is still spot on, it almost needs nothing else.
Oct 17, 2014 at 13:05 comment added Bart van Ingen Schenau @JustinTanner: You don't need to be the original author of a post to make a (suggested) edit. If you don't feel comfortable doing that, you can argue your case in a Meta question.
Oct 17, 2014 at 12:57 comment added Justin Tanner @gant I agree the original question maybe unclear, but I don't think it's too broad, as I have found only 3 or 4 distinct answers so far.
Oct 17, 2014 at 12:50 comment added Justin Tanner I'm not the original asker of this question. I read the question liked it. Though of an answer that does not fit within the duplicate questions. Answer would be to check out exercism.io and now thanks to gant to check out code kata
Oct 17, 2014 at 9:08 comment added gnat FWIW upon very carefully re-reading the question in question, I've got a feeling that asker may be looking into code-kata, but the way how they spell it makes it really hard to recognize this. So, maybe unclear / too broad close reasons would make a better fit
