You want the outcome without the reps.
Everyone does.
The clean mental model.
The instinct for where the bug is.
The design that comes out right the first time.
None of it is a trick you missed.
It's a thousand ordinary repetitions
you haven't done yet.
The senior engineer isn't smarter.
They've just been wrong
in more ways than you have,
and they remember each one.
You can read about the reps.
You can watch someone else do the reps.
You still have to do your own.
Stop hunting for the hack.
The reps are the hack.
Go do the boring next one.
– Serguey Asael Shinder
