The Feynman Algorithm: A Developer’s Guide to "Thinking Very Hard"

If you search for Richard Feynman’s methods, you’ll likely stumble upon the famous Feynman Technique, a brilliant framework for learning new concepts by explaining them to a child. But there’s another, lesser-known Feynman method. It was jokingly coined by his colleague, physicist Murray Gell-Mann, who said that Feynman’s process for solving problems looked like this: **1. Write down the problem. Think very hard. Write down the solution.** At first glance, this sounds like a meme. "Draw the rest
