As another literature major who now works in a technical role, I can't help but notice that this comment and the one above it are among the best-written in this thread, nor can I forget all of the general panic that went into my nomination anytime that college programming groups had to produce something written along with our code. I smirk somewhat at the idea that Virginia Woolf has much to teach you about clean code. I do, however, think that writing is a very general-purpose cognitive skill, and that exposure to books like Mrs. Dalloway (and their mechanics) are generally good for your brain.
