a downloadable demo of his touch
screen point of sales terminal. José Luis Sánchez in avemundi
writes that there was an article in this Sunday's El País (a
major Spanish newspaper) with the title, Intelligent
Hunches. The article was publicity for Malcolm
Gladwell, the author of Inteligencia
intuitiva (a translation of Blink
: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking, I think). However, José
Luis sees a parallel between the phenomenon described and the way in
which he works as a programmer when he is 'in the groove'. He also
mentions a quote attributed to Bertrand Russell about how the
subconcious mind can be persuaded to deliver solutions to problems
that have defeated the conscious mind. Joserra in Najaraba.com
posts a link to the article, Steps
to Becoming a Freelance Web Developer by Garret Dimon. |
