What makes coding addictive and writing mundane?

Coding has an immediate feedback loop while writing has a delayed feedback loop.

For example, here's the process of writing an article. You outline your ideas, write something, edit it; then, you publish.

Your feedback comes whether or not you receive likes, views, or any other forms of affirmation. It could take days if not weeks until someone finally notices you.

However, let's look at coding. Let's say you're writing a Python script. Import the libraries, write your first line then click enter.

If your line of code is successful, you'll see some happy output. If your line of code is unsuccessful, then you'll see an error log.

This immediate feedback from coding makes it so much better than writing.

How can we make writing more enjoyable?

If we apply the coding mental model to writing, then we realize that as long as we have an IDE for writing, we can make it more enjoyable.
