Coding in the language of Academia

As I carefully construct my thesis, I realise an interesting relationship between the process of academic writing and coding a piece of software: I often find myself spending a long period of time trying to piece together the words and syntax of a very small section of the whole. It has to be in just the right arrangement to fulfil it’s function.

Yet, there’s something strangely fulfilling when you know you’ve gotten it just right.

But then you realise there’s the rest of the code to perfect.

Academic writing is still a whole other language for me to master.
