I'm no Mozart, but I find it really fucking weird when we act like woodworking is artful and creating software isn't.

Programmers do woodworking in their free time and programming at the assembly line in the crud factory.

Sounds like you have no artistic sensibility

Roller Coaster Tycoon was programmed in fucking assembly. That's a work of artistry right there.

Calling it as rich as the best works of literature is peak programmer angst.

Trying to compare apples to oranges is peak idiocy.

i recommend you look at the demo scene for a counter argument.
