I think the bit about your work requiring you to go back and make immediate corrections to errors is a particularly interesting insight.

Design is much more similar to fiction, when I'm writing design docs. I get to spew mass amounts of text, then revise the drafts until it is where I want it. :) Of course actual implementation work suffers the same nitpicky attitude... actually I think it may be even more so since I usually don't have a functional debugger or much in the way of meaningful error checking... heh
