So writing code activates the same brain regions as solving puzzles?

So writing code activates the same brain regions as solving puzzles? That explains everything

[karolherbst@chaos.social]

So that also means that puzzle game devs are solving a puzzle while making a puzzle for us to solve?

@karolherbst And apparently many professional puzzlers never had any interest in actually doing them, as the last few years revealed ..

Really like "puzzling" as an analogy, it somehow fits writing code pretty well, thinking about it. Especially if you're dealing with a functional style and algebraic type systems, then it _really_ boils down to basically fitting all the pieces together in a neat way.

@karolherbst it's a bit puzzling, isn't it?
