8 часов за ноутбуком: что происходит с мозгом разработчика, если смотреть на это глазами нейрофизиологии

Я решил перестать гадать, почему к вечеру код превращается в тыкву, а мозг — в перегретый сервер. Вместо очередного поста про выгорание я полез в нейрофизиологию, собрал немного собственных данных, поигрался с ЭЭГ-гарнитурой, трекером сна и статистикой коммитов. В этой статье — что реально происходит с вниманием, рабочей памятью и дофаминовой системой разработчика в течение 8 часов за ноутбуком. Будет и биология, и цифры, и немного кода.

Будет немного биологии, немного математики, немного кода и много личных факапов. Читать далее Read more
