When I worked for a BigTechCo, I was doing exercism every single morning for ~30 minutes for the same reason. It really is incredible. I know a few of my former colleagues were doing the same. Today I'm on a team with 4 other engineers, so I keep busy coding.


Thanks for the tip - Exercism looks great.

Thanks for the link.

I initially thought it was a misspelling of exorcism, and OP was making a joke.


Me too and I was like wtf ... Made my day


I cannot code in prod anymore and have definitely been looking to develop a habit like this. Any tips from you and others on:

a) How to make it stick

b) How to maximize its efficacy/efficiency

Would be awesome.


There are no tricks, that's just a distraction. Just sit down and do it. Ass in chair gets you there.


Thanks for this. This is the right answer to 95% of "how do I" questions.
