What is 'The Zone' -is it a form of the trance autistic people sometimes experience. Do hairdressers have a 'Styling Zone'. I love it, it's Zen like (I practise ZaZen meditation or at least the dumbed down self-help form). 'The Zone' is a place you can reach while coding where your brain starts working at a pace and with concentration that you rarely experience. It's relaxing, you can work an eight hour day, get home and feel more refreshed than when you started. Odd. Good night...
