+TODO (this is Grok, for inspiration. edit/clarify/expand)
+
+After years of training and possibly a decades-long career, do you think differently?
+
+Do you approach non-coding problems like code? 
+
+# Examples of Cognitive Changes
+## Decomposition  
+* Change: Breaking problems into parts, like modular code.  
+* Example: A developer plans a trip by optimizing flights and lodging like program functions.  
+
+Discussion Point: Does this streamline or overcomplicate planning?
+
+## Pattern Recognition  
+* Change: Coding involves spotting reusable patterns, like abstracting solutions.  
+
+* Example: A developer might streamline repetitive workplace tasks, like standardizing meeting agendas, akin to a code library.  
+
+Discussion Point: Does this skill help in non-technical trend-spotting?
+
+
+
+## Debugging Mindset  
+* Change: Systematic error-tracing from debugging.  
+* Example: A developer troubleshoots a faulty device methodically, like debugging code.  
+Discussion Point: Does this build resilience or lead to overthinking?
+# Discussion Prompts
+
+
+Are these shifts unique to coding?  
+
+Do they hinder intuition or teamwork?
