One word: Emergent design.

Coding shouldn't be done in large patches of perfect code, it should be done in small segments of perfect code that are individually tested for their correctness and build up the whole solution.

The fact I couldn't run my code every few lines would completely destroy my ability to produce anything beyond what I would deem pseudo-code even if it did, on the surface of it, look like real code.

It's a linked list. It is a small segment of code.
