- mentos 4y agoIts my working theory that artists (The Beatles or John Carmack) are always operating in this type of mental 'shower' environment. Makes me wonder if maybe there is a 'myaquaguitar.com' alternative haha
- diemes1 4y agoNever seen John Carmack described as an artist before
- boredemployee 4y agocould writing code be considered as an art? genuinely asking
- jonsen 4y ago"Art is a diverse range of human activity, and resulting product, that involves creative or imaginative talent expressive of technical proficiency, beauty, emotional power, or conceptual ideas. There is no generally agreed definition of what constitutes art,...": https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art
- stavros 4y agoEverything can be considered art depending on who you ask, I don't think anyone agrees on what actually is or isn't.
- woodruffw 4y agoWhenever I hear someone describe programming as art, I think of this essay[1]. That isn't to say it can't be art. Only that those with an interest in calling it art usually aren't the appropriate authorities.

- turtleyacht 4y agoIt's a good day to reflect on code recently pushed, or a PR submitted, to retrace the lines and marvel at it (in one's head, on the commute home, or underneath a watery drone). If programming itself isn't art, the cognition of its product surely is. Art in a gallery asks to be observed again, studied again, brought to the context of each discovered age, again.
- rolenthedeep 4y agoThere is "code as art" where the code itself is art. A while back there was a program floating through the nerd community that was C code laid out in the shape of a giant C, which actually compiles to a valid program. Then there is "code as an artform". Think code golf, or other such challenges that encourage incredibly creative solutions. Then my personal favorite is simply "beautiful code". Sometimes an algorithm or a function will just be elegant in its construction or simplicity. Sometimes you have a real hairy problem that seems very complex at first, but the solution ends up as a small, clean function with no frills, no bugs. It's about beautiful solutions more than the text of the code. Code can be art, but it usually isn't. The first two categories are something done intentionally as a form of expression, but the last is more akin to a sunset or a rainbow. Sometimes beauty appears when we don't intend or expect it. But I think that still qualifies as art.
- grugagag 4y agoI think the art is to find the best abstraction/metaphor for the problem needed to be solved that is both easy to reason and maintain.
- chiefalchemist 4y ago"While my aqua-guitar gently weeps"?
- novok 4y agoYes and no. Too much 'relax mode' and you don't really get anything done either.
- dQw4w9WgXcQ 4y agoThese are great for leaving your SO a note in the AM
- gazby 4y agoI love that they even have a variant for this purpose! However, having a separate bathroom from my SO is something I credit with our relationship going so well lol
- mmaunder 4y agoBrilliant! I use the iPhone for my purposes because it’s waterproof. At least the newer models are. Have dropped it in deep water with no ill effects.
- gazby 4y agoMy understanding was that both heat and steam are bad for waterproof electronics, just be careful mate Edit: Aww HN strips emoji, should have seen that coming lol
- corobo 4y agoI was warned of this one (like the parent comment I use my phone in the shower for notes). Not had a problem in 2 years* of daily showers. I realise I'm taking a bit of a risk but nothing bad has happened so far. Could always just be luck of course. iPhone 11 for reference. * Almost exactly, ha. 24mo contract expired last week. Sod's Law says my next shower will destroy the phone having written this down.
- gazby 4y agoSending good juju your way mate!
- klyrs 4y agoNeat! I'm particularly fond of bath crayons... https://shop.crayola.com/toys-and-activities/bathtub-crayons-10-count-8221020000.html https://shop.crayola.com/toys-and-activities/bathtub-crayons...
- dotancohen 4y agoLook up "write board for children", they can be had for under 5 USD for a small one. I keep one in the shower too! This is an example, just the first one I found: https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005004626987148.html https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005004626987148.html
- inplubius 4y agoI just write on the wall with a window marker. Less elegant, but works too.
- gazby 4y agoI tried a dry-erase patch for the shower wall but it didn't go well with water/steam. Will try a window marker, thanks!
