Comment on Self-Control Matters Far More Than Raw Intelligenceparent

Actually, I would say that my "biggest" work is my best work. It might not be as pretty, but there's little more satisfying than coming up with a good solution to a complex problem.

Generally speaking, my approach to programming is more trial and error than organized and methodical. But then again, my work style doesn't work in all situations nor does it work for everyone else. I'm generally better at starting a project than finishing one. However, just like some projects take longer to finish than others, some projects take longer to start than others. So I I don't think that time is terribly pertinent.

With that in mind, a certain amount of distractibility is a blessing for me. If something distracts me, that means it will distract whoever is finishing a project. Therefore, it's important to address those distractions ahead of time.
