I've been thinking a lot lately about the parallels to learning a spoken language and learning a programming language.
How you can't first learn to speak in eloquent sentences until you learn basic sentences and words.
It definitely feels so relatable to code, you can't learn how to design and implement the most well architected solutions, without first understanding how to do things end to end.
As a novelist and a coder, I concur on all counts. 💝

Great read, thanks for sharing 🥰
My first drafts usually get the point across but are very wordy, all over the place, and have a few misspelled words.
Like you said, it’s like coding.
Reminds me a lot of the first time I get a challenging piece of code working. I go back and clean it up once it’s working.
Awesome analogy, Irina 👏🏼
Great read! Love the quotes added two new books to my reading list. Writing is a lot like coding, even the research part is pretty similar.
