experience

Look! It's shrinking!

What I experience when I grasp a subject or when I discover that I've achieved some level of mastery at something, that's how I percieve what happens. First contact with a software project or product is often daunting in my mind. There are so many details that your working memory rapidly becomes overloaded. After time, your brain manages to do what it does best; filtering the avalanche of data we're exposed to and effectively extracts only what's needed for the conscious part of the mind to make sense of the object of our interest.
