I develop software and climb. Proficient at both, I have some advice that could apply to either activity:
- Check your knots and always have a backup.
- Gear freaking is a distraction.
- Muscle memory and good technique will get you there faster.
- Being on the sharp end is more exciting.
I like fifth class terrain and first class functions.
I like boulder problems, route finding and algebraic data types.
I like leave no trace and persistent data structures.
I like rest days and lazy evaluation.
I like pattern matching.
