I enjoyed this article too, but it amuses me that people want to find a connection between this and programming, perhaps to unite their two tribes. Not everything has to do with programming, nor would you want it to. Even if the article is on hacker news. Sometimes just enjoy the thing-in-itself, without drawing a connection to technology. These connections exist, like they do between anything else in life. But that may not be the most interesting thing about the piece.
