People write for lots of different reasons. For a good many of those people, “publish everything” is heinous advice.
dansanuf··on Ask HN: Why is nearing completion so demotivating?
Procrastination is most often a self-defense mechanism for coping with your fear of your work not being good enough. The procrastination creates an “out,” allowing you to excuse yourself if your work isn’t excellent.

dansanuf··on Ask HN: Is coding like speaking another language?
As a bilingual person, I wouldn't describe learning to code as being similar to learning a new human language. The fundamental building blocks of programming (loops, variables, functions, etc.) are vastly different from the building blocks of human language (nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.).

However, I would describe learning a new programming language if you already know one (say, C++ to Python) as similar to learning a new human language (English to Spanish). The languages in both cases may be different, but the fundamental building blocks of expression are mostly the same.
