Earlier quoted context omitted.

It reminds me of Nikola Tesla, "Before I put a sketch on paper, the whole idea is worked out mentally. In my mind I change the construction, make improvements, and even operate the device. Without ever having drawn a sketch I can give the measurements of all parts to workmen, and when completed all these parts will fit, just as certainly as though I had made the actual drawings.

Huh. This is the first time I read this quote, but it resonates so well. Does anyone else program this way? I usually sit for a while thinking about the problem, write the program mentally, try out edge cases, sometimes rework the program a few times, then once I feel it's correct I type out all the code, with that phase taking much less time than the "mental work". I'd estimate my usual process is about 90% thought,…

It depends. If it's an interesting problem I have to work on, but I can't right away, I think about it as I'm going about my day. Driving, cooking dinner, rotting in a meeting. Then by the time I get to finally do it, it's close to a fully-formed solution.

If it's a problem that I have to address right now, it's more like prototyping the first idea that comes to mind and then debugging and refining and being more critical.

Update post title to be more descriptive for those who may not know: Kim Jung Gi, acclaimed comic book artist, has died

Here I was thinking it was Kim Jung Un's child or something. Thank you for the clarification.

I saw the OP comment and assumed it was someone smugly putting aside DPRKs leaders problems and talking about his virtues.

Heart attack at 47, and he looks reasonably fit too in that linked video from 2019 (age 44). What to do with this information? I don't know. Maybe work on cardio, stop coffee?.

you cant talk about the potential causes in here.

It was on the announcement Twitter linked, it said heart attack.

I read a great quote that conveys his talent:

> Like if you saw your favourite band improvise their next #1 hit song from scratch live on stage on their first try. Like an author sitting down and reciting an unwritten novel from start to finish. Absolute unthinkable skill.

Stop with the conspiracy nonsense already. You are not the holder of "tHiNgS THEY DoN't WaNT U tO KnOW!!1~", as much as you'd like that to be the case.

It's not a conspiracy theory, it's in the data quite clearly now.

Sure? How do you find a controll group of people vaccinated but without corona virus infection?

The virus is more likely the cause if there really is a spike in heart attack cases because pre vaccine studies already showed higher heart disease rates because of an infection.

I often come back to this video of Kim's process, which is a delight, and now only adds weight to the loss: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmqFbgKWoao “When I decide what to draw, I think about what. And then I create another me in my mind. Another me, a.k.a. mini-me, will be travelling through the space of what I want to draw. … Now, I send a bunch of my mini-mes all over the space to find the best suited location…

Also reminds me of Feynman, who Fixes Radio By Thinking!

Because it's a o e sided question. Why not also question if he was infected by corona virus? You know the virus that has a documented effect on the health of the heart.

And the moment both groups are pretty large, the vaccinated and the least once infected with corona but the virus is never a suspect in certain groups.

Blood clots, myocarditis etc. is only ever attributed to the vaccine and not the virus.
