On the other hand, I just don't see any "artistic" part in software engineering, but again, it boils down to what exact definition you give to the art word.
To me, code has none of the characteristics of true art.
I can applaud the craftsmanship, creativity or originality, but at the end of the day it just does not generate strong emotions nor communicate political, spiritual or philosophical ideas, nor it generates any sense of beauty at all.
If you stretch it literally anything can be art, but I really feel like what we're looking for in general is craftsmanship, not really artistry.
- mapcars 2y ago> If you stretch it literally anything can be art For sure, in a way because its subjective. Even by your own definition of generating strong emotion, people had been inspired by all sorts of things, like apple falling from a tree. Apples have been doing the art of falling for thousands of years and one human actually noticed that.
