Your brain is like a muscle.

That's true, I often hear that from business partners.
It's important to take breaks to think about something else.

The brain needs rest to process what it has collected. If you're stuck on a particular problem, take a break or work on it the next day after you've had a good night's sleep.

That's what I do when I get stuck with a complex task.

I hope it helps.

For the majority of people "vibe coding" nowadays.
They'll learn the hard lesson that "if you don't use it, you lose it".
When it comes to their skills and muscle memory.

Our brain is like muscle so the principles that works on muscles also works on brain - progressive overload when training, active deloading after hard training.
I personally talk a walk outside and intentionally make a coding-free day. For me programming is both addictively fun but stressful at the same time, so I made a day off

I’ve always struggled with the whole “rest and recharge” thing , feels like my brain doesn’t switch off even when I’m trying to relax.

That said, nothing resets me more than a long walk without my phone. No music, no podcasts. Just space to think.

Might actually try a proper digital detox this weekend , haven’t done that in a while.
