Not exactly a “creative pursuit” but often with legal work it takes years for any sort of feedback on a document’s effectiveness. Sometimes you’re alerted to a potential issue and your first thought is “yikes, there’s no way I drafted for that”. Much like coding it’s always a good feeling when you go back and see that you had contemplated the weird scenario and drafted accordingly.
I’ll admit it feels a bit more “magical” when it happens in my code though. I think perhaps because the stakes are lower so I can appreciate the work instead of feeling like I’ve dodged a bullet.
