    "What was your thought process?"

    The first time anyone ever asked for my thought process on a problem was in my Algorithms class, and I was honestly taken aback. It had never happened before. That one question forced me to stop “floating” and actually map out my logic to connect the dots and explain it clearly. But what I remember most isn’t the surprise; it’s the admiration I felt for the person who asked. It showed that their intellectual curiosity was bigger than their ego. They were comfortable enough to admit their approach might not correct or optimal, and truly wanted to hear how others got there.

I think (synapse). I write (syntax).
Sometimes in that order.
