In this episode, I talk to Felienne Hermans, who is an associate professor at the University of Leiden and researches how developers think and learn.

We talk about:

- why it is so hard to read and understand code,

- her book "The developer's brain",

- how we can learn easier to program,

- techniques to understand complex code quicker,

- how a shared vocabulary can help teams, not only during code reviews

- and her process to write a book developers will love.
