That's why I hate this new breed of computer idiot who presumes to be equal in everything, in order to elevate themselves above the futility of their control structures. And also the reason why I'm actually completely wrong on this platform and will be considered an outsider.
No, computer programs (and code) neither solve existential problems nor do they resemble a poem or a story.
It may be that for a developer 'meaning and code' coincide and have a special "artistic" meaning, but that does not mean that the emergent result is of general importance or has anything artistic about it. Running a loop and checking conditions a thousand times per second may give you a certain feeling, or even "Microsoft Word", but in the end it's just repeating the same thing over and over again. The only artistic thing about machines and programs is their speed.
Actually, for speaking to a machine one has to think like a machine, and for writing a poem, one has to think like a human.
'Ah, so you feel proud to have programmed a new 'service' that no one needs?' Congratulations! Be happy that there is also art, to which you have now turned to in order to experience something different from what you claim to be the same.
I get angry when I have to read such nonsense.
