What are your deliberate practices in relation with your work as a software developer / professional, or as a CS student?
Deliberate practice are exercise and repetitions targeted specifically at an individual's weak points and meant to consistently stretch / grow someone's ability. It was described in this Anders Ericsson paper.
To qualify as a deliberate practice, the exercise must satisfy the following:
- Is not inherently enjoyable.
- Is not play or paid practice.
- Is relevant to the skill being developed.
- Is not simply watching the skill being performed.
- Requires effort and attention from the learner.
- Often involves activities selected by a coach or teacher to facilitate learning.
Please answer with one practice per answer. I'll seed the question with one possible answer.
