If you define “artist” as not a profession, but more of a generic philosophy of working, then this statement:
> Is this the skill set of the artist or the programmer?
… is a complete apples-to-oranges comparison.
The skills you’ve written down are not tied to any profession and would apply to both “chess players”, “baristas”, “board game geeks”, and whatnot.
- fuzzfactor 5y agoI think you've answered the question whether art can be practiced in any profession. When you've got the rare individual who's overflowing with the consensus features: >Creative thinking >Dedication to learning the craft >Ability to innovate >Self learning, forward thinking >Stubborn >Invests many, many hours And they're in action as: >“chess players”, “baristas”, “board game geeks”, musicians, computer programmers, etc. These are the ones you notice are doing it like an artist regardless of how you don't see this kind of thing more often.
