Writing, Programming, and Composing Music

I think any sufficiently high tier skill balances a mechanical execution element and a creative element. An excellent programmer has a better sense at the start of a process, what they should do than an excellent writer would have. It's also mitigated by the fact that games programming is a very specific kind of programming as well. But I think it's decided to come in swinging with no regard for the existing conversation. Welcome. My arrival.
