Personal observations on deep work, focus, discipline, and developer life.
We used to wait for answers, messages, movies, deliveries and even ordinary moments. Now the internet has compressed the distance between wanting something and getting it. Maybe the problem isn't that we've become impatient. Maybe we've simply forgotten what waiting was for.
