Writers Have a Serious Advantage Over the Rest of Us

If i understand the article, this mainly applies to written dairies. Which made me wonder..

I am a programmer, so i type a lot. Mentally walking each hypothetical path that every involved actor (me, user, machine, chance) can take, and ultimately writing a solution that fits all storyboards.

Do said (article) benefits apply to me at all? Do said benefits apply to fiction writers at all?

Writing used a different part of your brain. Maybe this helps people break one and endless loop by creating a states change.
