Programming and Writing

Cool! Some of my favorite sci-fi writers are programmers or former programmers — Andy Weir, Charlie Stross, Dennis Taylor.

Although that may have more to do with me (as a programmer) than with any relationship between fiction and software.

Have you read Weir's Project Hail Mary yet? If so, did you like it as much as The Martian?

I liked Project Hail Mary more than The Martian, possibly because it's quite a bit more imaginative, and because the main character isn't a perfect person, so it's easier to relate.
