I am a Mech Engineer with a passion for programming. I used to paint when I was a kid, but that was a long time ago. Now what I find interesting is that without having read the PG article, I tell people that I program using the water-color technique. I 'sketch' quickly the code and then go back and fill the 'colors' the small refinements for completion and over write a little bit. Now I know other people they code like Architects, have master plans draw out all the details and then code, perhaps Djikstra was one of them and then there are the oil painters (possibly Knuth's style). Reminds me of Michelangelo where he had a great vision but had a lot of assistants to fill some parts (think of all the Ph D students slaving away).
