I wondered the same thing. 
I was a classically trained musician and learned to implement some of these techniques in practice sessions. They&#x27;re really effective.<p>But how could we use &quot;deliberate practice&quot; to improve coding? If we assume coding to stand for solving problems with code, then it seems we&#x27;d need to deliberately practice problem solving.<p>It&#x27;s possible to measure problem solving skills, and push those skills outside of a comfort zone. But it&#x27;s not as straightforward as measurement, &quot;I&#x27;ll play this passage without mistakes 3 times in a row&quot;, or &quot;I&#x27;ll place this golf ball on the fairway 5 times&quot; and adjusting performance based on feedback.
