> Creative writing is tremendously different from coding, imo.
I've had a different experience.
IMO there's a huge overlap in skills when writing, coding, making videos and playing guitar.
They all boil down to the idea of getting something out of your head and then refining it until you know when to stop refining based on whatever criteria you're optimizing for at the time.
This is based on writing over a million words and making hundreds of videos over 10 years on my blog and programming for ~20 years while casually playing the guitar for about as long.
