Really interesting article! I came at it from the other side — I was an academic computer scientist with 10 years coding experience, but in a period away from programming was given “The Ode Less Travelled” by Stephen Fry and started writing poetry. It struck me how similar the process was to writing a program — particularly as used a lot of functional programming languages which produce very compact code. Best wishes with your exploration of programming!
