I’ve been professionally programming for 18 years now. And honestly, I hate writing code from scratch. I copy/paste code from other parts of my codebase and just tweak as needed. Writing code from scratch feels like I’m doing something wrong.
The feeling before writing a piece of code in an empty file isn’t unlike the feeling I get when I’m about to step into the hot tub. Once I’m in I’m good, but I really have to psyche myself up to get in
Edit: Come to think of it, it’s the same with writing
Funny you say that. I’m 18 days from having a 10-page paper due that will determine whether I graduate in May or not, and I have yet to start it. Like you, I just need to get past that initial hump, and then it’ll go smoother.
