Thinking more about the writing of Ron Jeffries, I’m left to wonder: how does he do this? I’ve only tried doing something similar a few times but I find myself getting lost in the task. To context switch from IDE to your “lab notes” would mean a stilted form of progression. And when I do write notes, they tend to be bullet points, not the flowing prose we have here.

Is that what we’re seeing here? Someone constantly switching from code to notes ever few minutes? Or is there something I’m missing here? Maybe this is a full day’s worth of work. Maybe it was bullet points and Ron turned it into prose prior to publication. Or is narration and transcription software involved?

Either way, it would be interesting to know more about this.
