As both an author and software developer, I find writing fiction to be wholly different from writing code. There is almost nothing in common between the two for me. (I’m pretty sure about this because I know quite a lot about how my brain doesn’t work and how I compensate for broken hardware.)

Documentation has significant overlap with code at work… because I treat shared code as documentation. For personal projects, I don’t do this and writing code has no relation to writing prose.
