I just started reading this which covers some similar topics: https://beautiful-programmers-stone.netlify.app/

If I had to give a one-sentence synopsis of the first chapters it would be that there are 2 ways of thinking about things/working: “packing” memorizing facts and following routine, and “mapping” compressing facts into truths via reflection.

The latter is what leads to the 10x programmer because they are able to move pieces of the map around in their brain and solve problems more creatively-and seems to be linked to the study component of this approach.

I’m still not really sure what the difference between the study and act steps are, but I like the philosophy in general.
