The content discusses the cognitive demands of programming and how it can be exhausting for developers. The author explains that when programming, developers need to actively store and maintain a considerable amount of information in their heads, including variables, classes, objects, their properties and methods, files, paths, and dependencies. This active concentration and persistence of information is mentally taxing, even though it can also be exhilarating and create a sense of intellectual hyperactivity.
The author notes that a prolonged interruption can make it very difficult to return to work, especially when dealing with unfamiliar code written by others. In such cases, developers may forget a significant portion of the information they were previously holding in their minds, requiring them to go through the code again to decipher it. This cognitive burden and the need to constantly recall and process large amounts of information contribute to the exhausting nature of programming over time.
