Date: November 2nd, 2024 8:00 AM Author: Institute for JDVanced Study That's not necessarily a sign of aging/permanent steady decline.
Stress and sleep deficits (which are closely related) are huge factors in what you described. Well, I guess age heightens their impact, but you might do a lot better if you can get a consistent 7-8 hours for a couple weeks |

Date: November 2nd, 2024 8:10 AM Author: Institute for JDVanced Study I'm not that sure, but in your 40s it's much more likely to be bad sleep/diet/exercise than actual neurological decline. Brief memory lapses (forgetting names briefly, for instance) are normal).
As for your sleep, you have good nights and bad nights. Getting less than 6 hours will make your memory less sharp on a given day, for sure.

I too am a tech lead and I am always surprised by how many times i see duplicated code. One of the first things you learn in CS101 is to create a new function/method to put your duplicate code in. |
