Sincerely I think it would be the best to meet somewhere in the middle, between Scott's and symmetrical but opposite opinion on this matter. I am student, and freelance developer. And I ask myself a lot of times, what is the code that we write? Lines aren't clear like in electronics (I studied EE for 2 years, after which I pivoted to CS), where you got rules, theorems, which you use to analyze and build things. Code is a live thing. It grows, it changes, it lives and it dies. And the most paradoxical thing of all is that computers are pretty "dead" and dumb things, bunch of registers, ICs and transistors. (I am oversimplifying things here to prove my point better). The way we approach writing code always changes, code can be pretty personal thing, you can have your own style (like handwriting). And possibilities are almost endless now! So I think people in general should stop treating things with black or white principle. I feel that is very immature. Especially not coding. Software development is single most weirdest and interesting things that happened to me. It makes me scary and enthusiastic at the same time. It is easy and hard at the same time. And I think it is really stupid to try to ascribe any of those exclusive attributes. But everyone has it's own opinion. And that is what makes dev culture and community so interesting in the end.
