Think about it this way. Eventually age will catch up with you. The more of your thinking you could export in code, the less of an effect losing it would have on your productivity later. In a way, making code is a cleaner and cheaper version of making children.

plain writing is a slightly dirtier and more expensive version, that probably is more valuable for someone like me... more of my thinking is capturable as just text than code
