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 of the owl," right? But if we look closer at this "Feynman Algorithm," it actually perfectly outlines the lifecycle of debugging and writing software. Let’s break down how this tongue-in-cheek algorithm can actually help you become a better developer. Step 1: Write down the problem Albert Einstein supposedly said, "If I had an hour to solve a problem, I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions. " In programming, we often skip this.…
