@levork@graphics.social Thank you for this. Reading about all of those people and the interesting marks they left on the code really started my day with a smile. Code is, indeed, art. i have said this ever since i got into it in the early 90s and i still say it today!

@levork@graphics.social I think what you miss from the house analogy is that it's a "very efficient looking house": Everything is fine on paper, but if you start living in it you notice the problems: the plumbing is a mess that will start to leak in 6 month, the counter -- despite it's size -- has bad space utilization, there should be a shelf on the wall, the wall sockets and light switches are all located at slightly inconvenient places, the wallpaper gets dirty at the smallest provocation and is impossible to clean without damage, the AC requires maintenance by a licensed technician every couple of months, etc.
