But as a programmer, we are not programming in a vacuum. We use tools, commands, IDE etc. Start paying attention to these things during your kata sessions:

1. How many key strokes or mouse clicks does it take to:
   • Locate a compilation error
   • Reformat your code
   • Run a test
   • Refactor a piece of code
   • Trace a function
   • Pull up a shell in the current directory
   • Commit to version control
   • Locate mismatch parentheses
   • Switch between test code and production code
   • Auto complete with code snippets
   • Arrange windows in the right position and size
2. What’s the right color theme, font and font size for your eyes?

Don’t just improving yourself, improve you tools, it’s a more holistic approach. If you are not constantly programming your programing environment you are not taking full advantage of your own skill. Try to improve a few things, you’ll see the difference in your next iteration.
