I view coding as a creative process. On a new, large project I visualize the broad system. Then coding is filling in the details. Then I may go into a many hour day coding trance to complete a large piece of it, much like Van Gogh said he painted.

- contingencies 10y agoSame. When explaining programming to non-programmers, I use the metaphor of a cleaner: walking in to a room, identifying the type of mess present, choosing the right tool to clean it up, and the majority of time (your filling process) is basically floor sweeping. Of course, there are better types of job, but IMHO the majority of commercial coding is floor sweeping.
