To be fair, I work in software, so I too am familiar with the whoosh of a deadline as it passes by, unmet.

Although I don’t find it as hard as Douglas did with his writing, but then that level isn’t needed for most software projects.

I was about to say that software, unlike creative writing, can be changed after publishing. But Douglas did that for Hitch Hikers - the radio script, books, and TV show are fairly different stories!
