  Yeah, I don't think of programming as an art, but a craft, so that's why I have the point of view I do. There are tons of projects that will never go anywhere, done just for learning or as neat hacks, but why ensure that one won't?

    It's the same as carpentry and sculpting. It's the same thing, but one is a craft and the other is an art. This guy just took time off making furniture to build a sculpture. Sure, he could have made a new kind of furniture, but making sculptures also has its merits (or not, depending on your viewpoint, I guess).
