Programming is a mental juggling act. If I get distracted or stop unexpectedly, all the things come tumbling down to the floor and go bouncing and rolling to all corners of the room. It takes a lot of effort (and is no fun at all) to gather the things close, pick them all up, and start juggling again in an attempt to re-synchronize the moving parts in mental thin air.
