in reply to Observational Skills and Analysis

There IS a limit on observation. Perception, OTOH, is infinite.

Learning new languages, methodologies, and techniques coupled with working with truly great code artisians expands ones perception -- which is distinct from observation. More like the difference between merely hearing and truly listening.

Over the course of a career, novel problems occur less frequently until one can meet just about any challenge more or less intuitively. You spend more time refining your technique.

Actually, I've found that I'm more effective at solving a problem when it is in the periphery -- when I'm not directly observing it. Call it the Schrödinger's cat method of development. :)
