Why Climbing Taught Me About Coding
This photo takes me back to my first serious climb. I remember being terrified at the base, just like when I first looked at a complex codebase.
What I learned that day:
- One move at a time: Just like solving coding problems
- Trust your gear: Or in tech terms, trust your tools and tests
- The view is worth it: That satisfaction when everything works
- You'll surprise yourself: With what you're capable of
I don't climb much these days (too busy debugging!), but the lessons stuck with me. Every time I face a tough technical challenge, I remember that feeling of looking down from the top and thinking "I actually did this!"
Fun fact: I still keep my old climbing shoes on my bookshelf for inspiration!
