This is an interesting article, scroll down to the boxes and look at #1 activation, and #3 effort.

Okay, activation is what this is called. I don't know if that has a relationship to "coding," itself, just grasping at explanatory straws.

Can every single thing he struggles with be related to EF? It sure seems that way.
